The Academic Union of Universities, ASUU, Kaduna State University, KASU, branch, said on Sunday that it has not pulled out of the ongoing strike as claimed by the university’s management.
The union made this known in a statement jointly signed by its chairman, Peter Adamu, and assistant secretary, Akos Ibrahim, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
The union dissociates itself from the purported circular released by the university authorities asking students and lecturers to resume academic activities on May 9.
According to the lecturers, the directive violates the position of the union in the current struggle.
“The attention of the union was drawn to a purported circular trending on social media platforms stating that KASU Management has pulled out of the current roll-over strike action declared by ASUU.
“Specifically, the memo dated April 26, 2022, directed all members of staff and students to resume academic activities by Monday, May 9, 2022.
“It is important to note that the management of the university is not the mouthpiece of the Union and cannot speak on behalf of the union.
“Therefore, the union advises parents and guardians not to allow their children to resume for now until the current roll-over strike action is suspended.”
