The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Kaduna State University branch, has denied reports of an impending indefinite strike starting February 11, 2025.

The union described the news report as baseless and not originating from it.

In a statement by the ASUU Chairman, KASU branch, Dr Peter Adamu, and the Secretary, Dr Peter Waziri, it indicated that ASUU-KASU was well-versed in extant labour laws and procedures.

The statement stated, “We would not embark on any strike action without following due process.’’

The duo said that the union had been engaging with the state government to address outstanding welfare issues that accumulated during the previous administration.

They disclosed that the state Governor Uba Sani’s administration was committed to establishing a payment schedule to settle the outstanding amounts.
