Latest: KASU to Resume on July 13th Despite ASUU Strike – Vice Chancellor
The Vice-Chancellor of Kaduna State University (KASU), Professor Abdullahi Ashafa, on Friday, July 8 has revealed that the university will reopen on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, for the continuation of academic activities.
Ashafa stated that the decision is to enable its final year students to write their examinations and graduate, while he appealed to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to be understanding for the sake of students.
He said that the state government has decided to provide foreign scholarships to students with outstanding Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), and upon graduation, they would be sent abroad for their master’s degrees to two African universities where the Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board had already signed a Memorandum of Understanding with.
The vice-chancellor further revealed that the admission processes into the foreign schools would be closed in September and KASU students have not written their second-semester examination because of the prolonged industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Consequently, the school management, after a critical meeting, resolved to reopen on July 13, with the second-semester examination scheduled to commence on July 25.

Teaching staff members at the Kaduna State University (KASU) have shunned the resumption directives issued by the management of the institution, saying academic activities can only resume when all grievances have been resolved between the government and the union.
This comes after the university management issued a circular on April 27, stating that it would start full academic activities on 9th May 2022.
According to a statement issued jointly by the ASUU chairman and the Assistant Secretary, Kaduna State University branch, Dr. Peter Adamu, and Dr. Akos Ibrahim, on Tuesday, May 3, the union dissociated itself from the purported circular released by the University authority.
ASUU described the circular as a ploy to misinform the public, parents, and guardians, and to blackmail the union into their biddings. It also stated that the school management was not the mouthpiece of the Union and cannot speak on behalf of the union.
The statement further warned students, parents, and guardians not to allow their children to resume for now until the current roll-over strike was suspended, as listening and obeying KASU management’s directive would be considered a pure violation of the position of the union in the current struggle.
