Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Academic and Non-Academic Staff of state-owned Tertiary institutions in Bauchi state have declared a two-week warning strike effective Monday, 17th December.
The declaration of the warning strike was announced on Thursday at the end of an emergency meeting of the JAC held at the NUJ Press Center at the end of an earlier 21-day ultimatum issued by JAC on the 19th of November 2024.
The Chairperson of JAC, Comrade Abubakar Ahmed explained that JAC had demanded the implementation of the new salary structure for its members by the state government.
He stressed that the Congress met to assess the level of commitment by the government to an amicable resolution of the issue but lamented that the effort was not encouraging enough.
The JAC Chairperson stated that the Committee acknowledged the “meagre addition to the salaries of members in the November payment which he said fell short of the expectations of the members.
“However, this falls short of its expectations and demands for the full implementation of all the contents of the salary tables as approved by the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission. The only body recognised by the government to sign salaries of tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
“Consequently, the Congress has rejected in totality, the current table used by the Bauchi State government for the payments of November 2024 salaries for the tertiary institutions.”
The JAC also frowned at the attitude of the government for not engaging its leadership throughout the period of ultimatum to resolve the issues at stake. The Congress therefore resolved to proceed on the two-week warning strike commencing on Monday, 16th December 2024.
“Upon the expiration of the two-week warning strike, the Congress will convene to decide on the next line of action. Therefore call on its members across the state, that is College of Education, Azare and Kangere, College of Education, Legal and General Studies, Misau, Tatari Ali Polytechnic, and College of Agriculture to ensure total compliance with these directives.”
The JAC sympathised with its When to teaming students, parents and the general public for any inconvenience the industrial action might cause.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday declared open the National Assembly Open Week at the House of Representatives Chamber in Abuja.
The Open Week event serves as a platform to demonstrate the legislature’s commitment to transparency, strengthen public trust and engage stakeholders in the 10th Assembly’s legislative journey.
In his keynote address delivered to declare the weeklong event open Akpabio underscored the essence of the Open Week: “We are assembled today for something far greater than either Chamber. Parliament belongs not to those elected to sit within it, but to the millions whose hopes and votes brought it into existence.
“Parliament was never built to keep the people out. It was built to bring them in, for democracy flourishes only in the confidence of an informed and engaged citizenry.
“This Open Week invites Nigerians to look beyond the headlines and the soundbites, to see Parliament as the meeting point between the aspirations of the people and the responsibilities of government.
“For this is not merely a matter of public education; it is a matter of democratic necessity. History teaches us that great nations are sustained not merely by strong executives or independent judiciaries, but by Parliaments where differing opinions are heard, competing interests are reconciled, and every citizen ultimately finds constitutional expression.
“Openness therefore means more than allowing citizens to observe proceedings. It means assuring every Nigerian that no community is too remote, no voice too quiet, and no corner of this Republic too insignificant to deserve representation,” he said.
Akpabio invited Nigerians to engage the Parliament to make the institution stronger. “That is why this Open Week is so important. We invite Nigerians not merely to observe us, but to engage with us; not merely to applaud where they agree, but to challenge us where they believe we can do better. A Parliament that listens becomes wiser. A democracy that listens becomes stronger.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas said the Open Week Initiative is built on the conviction that an open, listening parliament is essential for earning public trust and strengthening public institutions.
The three-day event will feature several high-level, people-centered engagements designed to bridge the gap between citizens, the private sector, and policy makers.

The Kano State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old suspected bandit and recovered an AK-47 magazine, 109 rounds of live ammunition, suspected military uniforms and other incriminating items during an operation in Bichi Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the arrest was made by operatives of the Bichi Divisional Police Headquarters following credible intelligence provided by a member of the public regarding a man allegedly wearing a suspected military uniform at Rimaye Village in Bichi LGA.
According to the statement, the police team, working in collaboration with members of the Rimawa Community, intercepted the suspect, identified as Mohammed Isah Haruna of Dan Dinshe Yamma Quarters in Dala Local Government Area.
A search of his bag led to the recovery of one AK-47 magazine loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition, an additional 79 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, two sets of suspected military uniforms, three military caps, a suspected fake military identity card, personal identification documents, four ATM cards and a pair of desert boots.
The command said the suspect confessed during interrogation that he was in the area to deliver the recovered items to bandits operating in nearby forests. It added that the suspect is currently in police custody while investigations have commenced to apprehend other members of the criminal network before the case is charged to court.
The Commissioner of Police in Kano State, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, commended the vigilance of the Rimawa Community for promptly alerting the police, describing the arrest as another demonstration of the importance of community participation in combating crime.
