On Wednesday, the Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Aliero (KSUSTA) refuted claims that the ongoing nationwide strike had been suspended or called off.
Comrade Yale Ibrahim, the state ASUU chairman, denied stopping the group's ongoing nationwide strike in a statement.
He claims that the union informed the university administration of its readiness to join the national strike before it started, which it did on February 4, 2022, the first day of the strike.
He added that, to their chagrin, a circular from the university academic secretary Abdulazeez Salihu, dated 24th August 2022, announced the resumption of academic activities in the university, the letter which was signed by him contained academic activities time table ” we want to state here, that, the university is still on strike and that no academic staff will resume on that date as contained in the letter.”
He urged all academic staff to comply by staying at home until the National body of ASUU suspends the National strike, noting that, ASUU, KSUSTA remains firm on their stand to continue with the National strike till further notice he said.
