Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar said the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has no justifiable reasons to
continue with the strike.
Badaru stated this during an interactive meeting with
Permanent Secretaries, Directors, Deputy Directors, and Heads of Ministries and
Parastatals at Sir Ahmadu Bello Conference Hall, Dutse.
The Governor stated this while reacting to the ongoing
strike of the ASUU Sule Lamido University, Kafin-Hausa chapter in Jigawa State.
He explained that the ASUU in the state-owned university has
no reason to continue with the strike.
“I don’t see any reason for the state own universities to
continue with the strike because as the state government had already catered to
their demands as at when due.
“About seventy percent of the Lecturers are state indigenes
who suppose to show love and concern to the education of the upcoming leaders,”
he said.
Governor Badaru however urged the union to appreciate the
government’s commitment and not be used in a fight that does not concern them.
He, therefore, urged elders and other stakeholders in the
state to intervene in the ongoing strike.
ASUU embarked on strike on February 14, 2022, over the
enrollment of Federal Government workers on IPPIS, however, the state
government’s universities are not affected by IPPIS since their salaries do not
come from the Federal Government.
