KASU-ASUU Assures Students of Uninterrupted Academic Activities Amid Non-Teaching Staff Strike

In a statement released on Saturday, the ASUU chapter at KASU said its members would continue discharging their duties, including teaching, research, project supervision, examination preparation, and invigilation. According to Premium Times Nigeria, the union took the decision to ensure that the ongoing academic session was not disrupted by the non-teaching staff strike. The non-teaching staff of the university, under the auspices of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), embarked on an indefinite strike last week over salary discrepancies and poor working conditions. Despite the ongoing industrial action by non-teaching staff, ASUU said its members would continue to prioritize the educational needs of the students. This assurance comes as many students and parents have expressed concerns about the impact of the industrial action on the academic calendar. According to the university management, the ongoing industrial action by non-teaching staff has affected the smooth running of the university, leading to the postponement of some examinations. However, ASUU said it would work closely with the university management to ensure that academic activities continue without any major disruption. The union also promised to engage the non-teaching staff in dialogue to resolve their issues and bring the ongoing strike to an end. The assurance by ASUU is a relief to many students and parents who have been worried about the impact of the industrial action on the academic calendar. It is expected that the union will keep its promise and ensure that academic activities continue without any major disruption.
