According to information on our news desk, members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State University Chapter, had on Tuesday, the 10th of December, vow to continue with the ongoing asuu strike until directed otherwise by the national body to call off the strike and resume academic activities.
According to Dr. Sadiq Abdul, who is the current Chairman of the union in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna, disclosed this.
The News Agency also reports that the Federal Government had directed members of ASUU nationwide to resume classes on or before Dec. 9th or face been sacked. However, i would also love you to note that the federal government has nullified the ultimatum, saying that they have cancelled the ultimatum and are pleading with ASUU, to call off the strike.
According to a correspondent from Dailyschoolnews who visited the campus further reports that lecture theatres and lecturer’s offices were still under lock and key and nothing significant was ongoing in the school.
The ASUU Chairman, Dr. Abdul also reaffirmed that the ASUU union had not called off the strike, and we quote him in his exact word: “We are strictly obeying the directives of our national body until they tell us to resume classes.”
According to him, the union will continue with the strike until its demands are met.
He advised students to remain at home, saying that the strike was not aimed at punishing them but to ensure qualitative education.
“The university itself and the students will be the first beneficiaries of the strike action, “ he said.
According to our correspondent who visit the school and interviewed/questioned some of the students, who were discussing the situation in groups, expressed the hope that the impasse would end soon.
Mr Peter Jessy, a 300-level student of Economics said he was only in the school out of curiosity “to see if classes have resumed.
More and more students in the group expressed their hope that the strike will be called off.
However, report here is that the strike is still ongoing and it’s as strong as ever.
