The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Kaduna State University (KASU) has announced a two-week warning strike in response to unresolved welfare issues. The decision, communicated in a letter to Vice-Chancellor Prof. Abdullahi Musa and signed by ASUU KASU Chairman Dr. Peter Adamu and Secretary Dr. Peter Waziri, follows a union congress held on Thursday.
The strike is set to address several critical issues:
- Unpaid Salaries: Five months’ salaries from May to September 2022 and 60% of September 2017 salaries remain unpaid, along with other withheld salaries for academic staff.
- Earned Academic Allowance: Payments due from 2018 to the present.
- Pension Remittances: Outstanding pension contributions from 2009 to 2019.
- Group Life Insurance: Compensation for deceased academic staff from 2019 to date.
The warning strike will begin following approval by the ASUU National Executive Council, which will meet at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, from August 2 to August 4, 2024.
