The Gombe State Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Gombe State University have reached an agreement to end weeks of strike action following the union’s demands. The strike, which began on September 11, 2024, halted academic activities at the university.
After several meetings, the state government approved N947 million during an executive council meeting chaired by Governor Inuwa Yahaya.
