Following repeated failures by the Kaduna state government in fulfilling its obligations regarding agreements and promises reached with Joint Unions of Tertiary Institutions of Kaduna state (JUTIKS), the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), Gidan Waya chapter, Tuesday directed all its members to proceed on an indefinite strike action.

The union said the situation will remain until the state government approves and implements CONPCASS and CONTEDISS salary structures and other terms contained in the agreement.

The position of the union was contained in a communiqué signed by the chairman of the Gidan Waya chapter, Dr Christopher Nuhu Yerima, and made available to newsmen and Salama news.

The communiqué stated that the state government has blatantly failed to honour the promises and agreements reached with the joint unions on August 18/2025 despite repeated reminders and ultimatums given to that effect.

The union lamented that the failure by the state government to implement the agreed salary structure has led to a prolonged period of neglect and marginalisation of tertiary institution staff in the state.
