The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Plateau State University, Bokkos chapter (ASUU-PLASU) has declared an indefinite strike over what it described as the failure of the university administration to satisfactorily address its six-point charter of demands.

The union announced the industrial action after its Congress meeting following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the university administration on August 11.

In a statement signed by the Chairperson, Comrade Vincent D. Choji, and Secretary, Comrade Lomka Iliya Kopdiya and made available to reporters on Wednesday the union said its demands remained unresolved despite the expiration of the ultimatum.

The demands include the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme, full implementation of the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU agreement and payment of arrears from January 1, 2026.
