ASUU-KASU Confirms No Strike, Classes to Continue

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Kaduna State University (KASU) has announced that it is not on strike, ensuring students that academic activities will proceed without interruption. This statement was made by ASUU-KASU Chairman Abubakar Abdullahi and Secretary Silas Amos Bakut, who urged students to focus on their studies in preparation for upcoming examinations.

The clarification comes after a seven-day warning strike initiated by non-teaching staff unions at KASU on November 10, 2026, due to unresolved issues such as the implementation of 2026 Federal Government agreements, payment of outstanding arrears, and salary adjustments. The unions involved include the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).

ASUU-KASU instructed its members to continue their academic responsibilities and warned against any harassment of lecturers. While supporting the demands of the striking non-teaching staff, ASUU-KASU emphasized that industrial actions should respect the rights of other university community members.
