The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Bayero University Kano (BUK) chapter, has declared Monday a lecture-free day in the university.
The union said it would use the day to sensitise students, parents, and other stakeholders on the brewing crisis arising from what they described as the federal government’s failure to judiciously implement its existing agreements with ASUU.
ASUU disclosed this in a statement signed by its chairperson, Haruna Musa, and secretary, Yusuf Madugu, made available to newsmen in Kano yesterday.
“The Union acknowledges the recent intervention of the Nigeria Inter-religious Council (NIREC) towards addressing the lingering crisis and urges the FGN to listen to the words of wisdom in order to avert another disruption of academic calendar in our universities,” the statement said.
