Gombe tertiary institutions’ unions begin two-week warning strike

The Joint Union of Gombe State Tertiary Institutions (JOUGTIN) has commenced a two-week warning strike due to the state government's failure to address staff welfare entitlements. The strike began at midnight on September 2, 2026, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the government. The unions expressed their willingness to negotiate, hoping that the warning strike will lead to a resolution of the raised issues.
