ASUU University of Port Harcourt declares indefinite strike
The University of Port Harcourt branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities declared an indefinite strike after the university failed to resolve incomplete payment of three months' salaries (June, July and August 2026) and responsibility allowances. ASUU said members of other unions have received these allowances while ASUU members were sidelined, and that a 48-hour deadline set at an emergency congress on 11 September elapsed without action. The branch named Tarila Amakoromo as its secretary and said members must not teach, invigilate exams or attend official meetings while a strike monitoring team enforces compliance.
