The Management of Kaduna State University (KASU) has assured students, parents, staff and other stakeholders that the University remains open and fully committed to sustaining academic activities .
The Vice Chancellor Kaduna State University Kaduna, Prof. Abdullahi Ibrahim Musa stated this in a press release made available to journalists in Kaduna.
Management wishes to reassure the university community that the industrial action by the affiliate unions does not translate to a closure of the institution. Academic activities are continuing,and students are encouraged to attend lectures and participate in all scheduled academic engagements.
The management appeals to students to remain calm, focused, and committed to their studies while assuring them that the university is taking necessary steps to ensure the continuity of its academic programmes and other essential operations.
Management also expresses its profound appreciation to the Executive Governor of Kaduna State and Visitor to the University, His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, for his continued commitment and numerous interventions towards improving the welfare and working conditions of both academic and non-teaching staff of the University.
The University acknowledges the concerns raised by the affiliate unions, particularly regarding the implementation of the 2026 Consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance (CONTTA). However, management urges the unions to embrace dialogue and constructive engagement while giving the State Government through management and council the opportunity to address the outstanding issues.
Management remains committed to maintaining industrial harmony, protecting the interests of staff and students, and ensuring that the university’s mandate of teaching, research, and community service are not disrupted.
