ASUU misrepresenting facts – KASU VC

Kaduna State University's Vice Chancellor, Prof Abdullahi Ibrahim Musa, has refuted claims made by the university's ASUU branch that 200 lecturers have resigned due to poor working conditions. Musa stated that the claim is misleading and unsupported by the University's records, urging ASUU to provide verifiable evidence. He emphasized that staff movements are normal within universities and should not be presented as evidence of deteriorating conditions.

Musa challenged ASUU to present identities, dates, and reasons for resignations. He noted that the Governor has cleared salary arrears and improved welfare, with the University releasing over N800 million for staff welfare in the past three years and clearings over N146 million in withheld salaries. The University also received over N200 million in overhead funding in 2026 for various academic activities and secured accreditation for various programs.

Musa highlighted the University's expansion, including the establishment of 14 research centers and two institutes, and highlighted international research grants secured by the University. He called on ASUU to reconsider actions that could disrupt the academic calendar and stress that constructive dialogue is the most effective path to resolving issues.
