KASU-ASUU Confirms No Strike Among Academic Staff

The Kaduna State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), represented by chairman Comrade Abubakar Abdullahi, has officially stated that its members are not participating in any strike action. This clarification comes amidst reports suggesting a suspension of academic activities at the university.

Abdullahi explained that the industrial action currently affecting the institution involves non-teaching staff, not academic staff. He emphasized that ASUU had previously resolved its disputes with the Kaduna State Government months ago, following the government's full implementation of their agreement.

The union has urged its members to continue their responsibilities and encouraged students to attend lectures and participate in academic activities. Abdullahi also mentioned that the union would take necessary measures to protect its members from harassment or intimidation, including reporting incidents to security agencies like the police and the Department of State Services (DSS).
