Kaduna varsity lecturers ready for talks with govt to avert strike

Lecturers at Kaduna State University are willing to engage in immediate talks with the state government to resolve outstanding issues and prevent an impending strike. The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chapter at the university has acknowledged that the government has addressed some of the challenges facing the institution, including salary and allowance issues.

According to ASUU-KASU chairman Dr Abubakar Abdullahi, out of about 10 issues previously presented by the union, three have been addressed while seven remain outstanding. The union commended the government for taking steps to address some of the issues, but wants further intervention to strengthen the university.

The Kaduna State University lecturers are seeking to avert an impending ASUU strike, with the union's position aimed at drawing the government's attention to areas requiring further intervention.
