The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), branch of Kaduna State University (KASU), said it would not resume academic activities on Tuesday, 9th may, 2022, until the Federal government and the union’s national body meet and amicably resolve all grievances.
It is recalled that the management of KASU issued a circular last week that the university would commence full academic activity on May 9, 2022.
In a joint statement by ASUU Chairman and Kaduna State University Branch Deputy Secretary, Dr. Peter Adamu and Dr. Akos Ibrahim, the union distanced itself from the alleged circular published by the university authorities.
According to the statement, the attention of the union was drawn to a purported circular trending on social media platforms stating that KASU management had pulled out of the current roll-over strike declared by ASUU.
The statement described the circular as a ploy to misinform the public, parents and guardians, and to blackmail the union.
According to the statement, it is important to note that the management of the university was not the mouthpiece of the Union and cannot speak on behalf of the union.
The statement warned parents, students and guardians not to allow their children to resume operations until the current roll-over strike is suspended.
