ASUU: Full List Of Public Universities Who Pulled Out, Not Joined In Lingering Strike

Some public universities have pulled out while some others refused to participate in the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike which has lingered since February 14.

One of the latest universities to pull out is, the Kaduna State University, (KASU), who reopened academic activities on September, 5th.

In a statement released by the school, the management urged all students and lecturers to report back for the continuation of the academic calendar.

Speaking about the reopening of the school despite the strike, Dr Abubakar Abdullahi, who is one of the ASUU leaders in KASU, said some of their members despite the reopening are still observing the strike while others have returned back to school.

Here’s a list of other universities who pulled out or not participating.

Recall that ASUU on August 29 announced the extension of the ongoing strike after a heated meeting of the national executive council (NEC) held at the University of Abuja.

This led the Federal government to dragged the university lecturers to the Industrial Court, pleading that the court order ASUU to call off its seven months strike.

However the court in its sitting last Friday adjorned the suit until Monday (September 19) to hear the interlocutory injunction of the government.

The counsel to the Federal government pleaded that the court give the suit an accelerated hearing as it was urgent to enable students to return to school.

He further urged the strike to be called off since the case is in court.

But counsel to ASUU and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, said the union are currently meeting with stakeholders to ensure that the matter is resolved.

He further appealed to the government to cooperate with the union to resolve the matter.

Ruling on the case on Wednesday, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) ordered the university lecturers to reopen all public universities and return to their duty posts after seven months of shutting down the learning institutions.
