Kaduna State University gate
The management of Kaduna State University has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, KASU chapter, to suspend its two-week warning strike, saying the intervention of the state government has provided a fresh opportunity to resolve the lecturers’ grievances.
The appeal came on Friday, barely 24 hours after ASUU-KASU commenced the warning strike following a meeting of its members over the non-implementation of agreements reached with the Federal Government and other issues affecting their welfare.
In a statement signed by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdullahi Musa, the university management urged the lecturers to reconsider the industrial action in view of the steps already taken by the state government to address their concerns.
“Management urges ASUU-KASU to give the ongoing dialogue every opportunity to succeed and to reconsider the suspension of the warning strike, particularly in view of the concrete steps already being taken by the Kaduna State Government to address the issues under discussion,” the VC stated.
