Kaduna State University defies ASUU Strike, resumes 2020/2021 Academic Semester

251

Kaduna State University (KASU) has resumed the second semester of the 2020/2021 academic session for its undergraduate and postgraduate students, more than five months after the Academic Staff Union of Universities went on strike (ASUU).

The resumption is for the continuation of the second semester examination, which had been postponed due to the ASUU strike, which began in February of this year.

Professor Abdullahi Ashafa, acting Vice Chancellor of Kaduna State University, explained that the school does not have a labour dispute with the local branch of ASUU, so there is no need to keep the students at home.

He warned that there will be severe consequences for students and lecturers who fail to resume for classes as directed by the university management.
