  "summary": "The Kaduna State University (KASU) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has clarified that it is not on strike and that academic activities are expected to continue without interruption. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the association issued this statement to correct misinformation claiming the university is on strike and that academic activities have been suspended. Chairman Comrade Abubakar Abdullahi and Secretary Comrade Silas Amos Bakut urged students to remain focused on their responsibilities and advised parents to ensure their wards remain on campus to prepare for forthcoming examinations.\n\nPremium Times reports that the union has directed its members to continue performing their duties, including research, teaching, project supervision, examination preparation, and invigilation. The clarification comes as non-teaching staff unions began a seven-day warning strike at 12:00 am on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Daily Post Nigeria notes the strike is due to the non-implementation of the 2026 FGN/Non-Teaching Staff Agreements, unpaid arrears, minimum-wage adjustments, and a 25% pay increase.",
