 GOV. KEFAS RELEASES ₦200 M, COMMITS MONTHLY ₦100 M TO END TARABA VARSITY ASUU STRIKE 


Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has approved the immediate release of ₦200 million to address the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Taraba State University (TSU). The governor also pledged an additional ₦100 million monthly until all outstanding salaries are fully paid.


The announcement came during a visit to the university on Thursday, March 12, 2026, where Governor Kefas, who is the Visitor to the institution, signed the payment approval documents in the presence of TSU ASUU Chairman, Mbave Joshua Garba, and other union officials.


Speaking on the occasion, Governor Kefas said, “Education remains a top priority for this administration. We cannot allow the future of our young people to be held back.” He added that pension arrears have been addressed, and promotion arrears approved and settled, signaling a commitment to improving staff welfare.


Chairman Garba welcomed the intervention, expressing optimism that the financial commitment would pave the way for a swift end to the strike. “We are hopeful that this action will restore normalcy and ensure our members receive what is due,” he said.

Analysts say the governor’s decisive step is likely to boost confidence in the state’s educational system and could serve as a benchmark for resolving similar disputes in other state-run institutions.


The move marks a significant effort by the Taraba government to ensure academic activities resume without further disruption, emphasizing the administration’s resolve to prioritize education.
