KSUSTA-ASUU embarks on indefinite strike

Kebbi State University of Science and Technology (KSUSTA) lecturers have today 17th December embarked on an indefinite strike to press their demand to the University management.

This was revealed in the KSUSTA-ASUU Branch special Bulletin on 17th December 2019 signed by the union’s chairperson, I.G. Wawata and secretary I.D. Yale.

The bulletin was titled NOTIFICATION OF RESUMPTION OF TOTAL AND INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION BY THE KSUSTA-ASUU BRANCH and fully reads:

To all members of ASUU KSUSTA Branch,

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) KSUSTA Branch wish to notify you of its resumption of a total and indefinite strike action based on permission granted at the floor of The Notional Executive Council (NEC) held on 7th – 8th December 2019 at Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna.

This become necessary to press its demand for the full implementation of the 2018 MoA signed by the tripartite parties (Kebbi State Government, University Management and ASUU KSUSTA) which the University Administration failed to honour.

In lieu of the above, there will be No Lectures, No Examination, No Supervision of Examination, Projects or Thesis, No Seminar/Conferences and No attendance of any statutory meetings (Senate, Council, Faculty/Departmental Boards etc).

Members are advice to remain resolute, sort for information and take instructions only from their Branch Chairperson. They should attend Congress meetings regularly for strike update.

United we bargain, divided we beg!

This is history repeating itself in the University and some students of the university are not happy with the development.
