The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete branch has expressed its support for the ongoing warning strike declared by the union’s national body.
The branch, however, attributed the inability of its members to participate in the industrial action to some challenges facing the state owned university.
The KWASU ASUU’s chairman, Dr Shehu Salahu, in a statement sought the understanding of national leadership of the union on the predicament of the institution’s lecturers.
The union called on the federal government to do the needful and bring to an end the lecturers’ strike in the over all interest of the nation.
Dr, Salahu noted that the KWASU branch, presently on observer status, was following the trend and the efforts of the national ASUU to resolve the matter with the federal government .
The Union maintained that as a young branch just admitted into the fold, KWASU has challenges owing to funding status of zero subvention for about seven years ago.
