Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to bring its extended strike at Taraba State University to an end, Daily Post Nigeria reports. The appeal was reported on Monday, 2 November 2026, as the industrial action at the institution continued.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, the governor's request is aimed at resolving the dispute that has kept academic activities disrupted at the state university. The report did not specify the reasons behind the strike or how long it has lasted.
The development places Taraba State University within the wider conversation about ASUU, the academic staff union that represents university lecturers across Nigeria and has a history of industrial disputes over working conditions and funding. Daily Post Nigeria's headline frames the strike at the Taraba institution as prolonged, though further details of the standoff were not included in the reporting.
What to watch next: whether ASUU responds to the governor's appeal and whether the strike at Taraba State University is suspended or called off.
