KASU-ASUU Confirms No Strike, Academic Activities Continue

The Kaduna State University (KASU) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) issued a statement clarifying that it is not on strike and that all academic activities will proceed without interruption. The statement, signed by Comrade Abubakar Abdullahi and Comrade Silas Amos Bakut, the Chairman and Secretary of KASU-ASUU respectively, encouraged students to focus on their studies and prepare for upcoming examinations.

This clarification was prompted by misinformation suggesting that the university was on strike due to a 7-day warning strike initiated by non-teaching staff unions, including the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT). ASUU-KASU emphasized that all academic staff are expected to fulfill their duties, including teaching and examination responsibilities, and warned against any dereliction of duty.

Members were advised to report any harassment or obstruction encountered while performing their duties.
