The Management of Kaduna State University (KASU) on Wednesday said the state government has nothing to do with its decision to pull out of the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Management of the University stated this in a statement issued by the its Public Relations Officer, Mr Adamu Bargo..
The management was reacting to a report by some sections of the media that the Gov. Nasir El-Rufai-led administration has coerced the university’s Management into resuming academic activities.
“The management of the university will like to reiterate and take responsibility on the decision to pull out of the ASUU strike. The Kaduna State Government is not involved in this decision.
“The report that management was forced to resume academic activities is fake news, a handiwork of mischief makers”.
“The recent announcement on the resumption of academic activities is in line with the Academic Calendar that stipulates continuation of lectures effective from May 9, 2022”, the statement said.
Recalled that the university in a circular dated April 26, and signed by its academic secretary, Abdullahi Zubairu, directed all students and lecturers of the institution to resume academic activities.
The circular further advised all the lecturers and students to abide by the academic calendar.
