Kaduna State University (KASU) will resume academic work on July 13th despite the strike of ASUU according to the Vice Chancellor of the University.
The institution will reopen on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, for the continuation of academic activities, according to the vice chancellor of Kaduna State University (KASU), Professor Abdullahi Ashafa, who made the announcement on Friday, July 8.
In an appeal to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Ashafa said that the decision was made to allow the school’s final-year students to graduate and pass their exams.
He declared that the state government had made the decision to award outstanding students with foreign scholarships, and that after they graduated, they would be sent to two African universities with whom the Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board had already signed a Memorandum of Understanding to pursue their master’s degrees abroad.
The vice chancellor also stated that due to the extended strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the admissions procedures into international institutions will be blocked in September and that KASU students had not yet taken their second-semester exams (ASUU).
As a result, following a crucial discussion, the KASU school administration decided to reopen or resume on 13th July with the second semester exam set to start on July 25.
Teaching staff at the Kaduna State University (KASU) previously disregarded a directive by the institution’s management to resume academic operations, arguing that this can only happen when all grievances have been settled between the government and the union.
