Kaduna varsity begs ASUU to suspend strike

The management of Kaduna State University has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, KASU chapter, to suspend its two-week warning strike. The appeal was made on Friday, after ASUU-KASU commenced the strike.

The university management, led by Vice-Chancellor Professor Abdullahi Ibrahim Musa, stated that the intervention of Governor Uba Sani had created an opportunity for the government, management, and unions to address the concerns raised by academic staff.

According to Daily Trust, the governor constituted a nine-member committee, chaired by the Commissioner for Education, Professor Abubakar Sani Sambo, to engage with the issues and make recommendations within one month. The management urged ASUU-KASU to give the ongoing dialogue a chance to succeed and reconsider suspending the warning strike.
