Recall, last Tuesday, the union embarked on an indefinite strike over some unresolved issues with the University’s management, dating back from 2009 and 2017.
However, the strike was called off on Sunday following the intervention of the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani.
The Chairman of ASUU Kaduna State University branch, Peter Adamu, said in a statement that the state government demonstrated goodwill in resolving the standoff by immediately releasing funds to pay 60 percent of September 2017 withheld salaries and SIWES supervision allowance for dive sessions.

He also said that the Kaduna State Government has also agreed to a timeline for the payment of five months May to September 2022 withheld salaries, promotion arrears, earned academic allowances, pension remittance from 2009 to 2019, death benefits, and group life assurance.
It further stated that the government has shown commitment to implementing wage award and granting autonomy to the Kaduna State University.
The union commended Governor Sani for his swift intervention and leadership in resolving the issues that led to the strike action.
According to ASUU, the Governor’s intervention is a deviation from the dark days of the past when members were victimized for participating in lawful strike actions.
