The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka Branch, Anambra State, has suspended its withdrawal of services following the full payment of the outstanding August 2026 salary to all its members.
The suspension took effect immediately on Friday, September 11, 2026, five days after the branch commenced the industrial action over the non-payment of the full August salary.
In a statement signed by the Branch Chairperson, Comrade Innocent Nnubia, and Secretary, Comrade Osita Nnajiofor, the union directed its members to immediately resume their academic and administrative responsibilities.
Members were directed to return to teaching and lectures, supervision, marking of scripts, committee meetings, submission of results and other official duties.
The decision followed the implementation of a resolution reached by the Branch Congress on September 7, which activated the ASUU National Executive Council’s “No Pay, No Work” position over the delayed payment of the complete August salary.
The Branch Executive commended members for their unity, discipline and resoluteness throughout the period, noting that their collective action had yielded a positive outcome.
The union, however, urged members to remain vigilant and continue to monitor developments, assuring them that further official information would be communicated through its established platforms.
