Dr. Yusuf Ibrahim Kofarmata, the Commissioner for Higher Education, disclosed this during the 3rd joint meeting with heads of tertiary institutions, scholarship board, and top management of the ministry, held at the Kano State Polytechnic.

He said that the governor approved N279 million for YUMSUK to settle Earned Academic Allowances and an additional N66 million for the convocation ceremony.

Similarly, ADUSTECH, Wudil, received allocations exceeding N629 million for the payment of excess workload and N38 million for non-academic staff allowances, respectively.

In November 2023, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at YUMSUK raised concerns to the state government, including the demand for immediate settlement of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) balances, Consequential Adjustment arrears, and the adoption of the newly approved Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure II award by the Federal Government, among others.
