The Management of Kaduna State University (KASU) has reassured students, parents, staff and other stakeholders that the institution remains open and determined to sustaining academic activities despite the ongoing industrial action by affiliate unions.
The university clarified that the industrial action does not mean the institution has been shut down, urging students to continue attending lectures and taking part in scheduled academic programmes.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdullahi Ibrahim Musa, on Friday.
Musa reassured the university community that academic activities were ongoing, encouraging students to remain calm, focused and dedicated to their studies.
He said management was taking necessary measures to ensure the continuity of academic programmes and other essential operations.
The university also acknowledged the concerns raised by the affiliate unions, particularly over the implementation of the 2026 Consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance, (CONTTA).
However, it urged the unions to embrace dialogue and constructive engagement while allowing the Kaduna State Government, through the university management and council, to address the outstanding issues.
Management also expressed appreciation to the state governor and Visitor to the University, Senator Uba Sani, for his continued commitment and interventions towards improving the welfare and working conditions of both academic and non-teaching staff.
