“Given ASUU’s refusal to reconsider, the Kaduna State government will enforce the ‘no work, no pay’ policy for the duration of the strike,” Mr Bello stated.
He said the payment would enable the restoration of power supply to the Kafanchan and Kaduna campuses of KASU.
The protesting students carried placards with various inscriptions such as ‘Bring back light to KASU’, ‘No light, no exams’, and ‘Light up Kafanchan Campus and restore our light’.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s government has allocated N107.72 billion to the education sector in its proposed 2023 budget, pending before the Kaduna assembly for consideration.
“The committee will provide opportunities for members of the KASU community to make input in the development of the university.”
The Christian population in the university said that for the past 17 years, the Muslims have five mosques while they have none.
The university’s registrar, Samuel Manshop, said in a statement in Kaduna on Friday that 14,000 candidates applied for various programmes in the school.
