The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State University Chapter, has directed its members to join the ongoing warning strike by public sector workers in Kaduna State.
The ASUU
Chairperson, Dr Peter Adamu gave the directive in a circular to the members of
the union, issued in Kaduna on Monday.
Adamu said: “I
am directed by the National Secretariat of our great union through the Zonal
office Kano, for members to join the warning strike.
“Members should
remember that ASUU is an affiliate of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the
principal officers of ASUU were part of the NLC National Executive Council that
took the decision on the strike action.
“Also, members
that violate the strike action must note that the union will not be there for
them when the wrath of the governor falls on them.
“We must unite
for a just cause because injury to one is injury to all.”
Harboursandport reports that NLC National President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, said
at the five-day strike action that it would run its full course unless the
state government attended to the workers grievances.
Some of the
grievances included the recent sack of 7,000 local government workers and
refusal of the state government to settle the entitlements of about 50, 000 it
disengaged from service from 2017 to date.
Government
activities in the state were completely paralised on the first day of the
strike on Monday, with banks, schools, hospitals, water, electricity,
rail and air services shut.
