ASUU: Kaduna Govt Threatens To Sack All Lecturers Observing Strike.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has threatened to sack all the Kaduna State University (KASU) lecturers if they continue to observe the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
Many attempts by the government to make the lecturers return to the classrooms have not yielded results as of today.
Just on Monday, labour unions commenced solidarity protests in some parts of the country with ASUU including the kaduna state chapter.
However, speaking on a radio programme in Kaduna, El-Rufai told the lecturers to return to classrooms in order to avoid having their positions declared vacant, adding that KASU lecturers had no reason to join any strike.
According to him, ASUU had a problem with the federal government, not the state government.adding that the Acting Vice Chancellor has assured me that they will resume.
This is because Nigeria’s law says ‘no work, no pay’. This is the law. So whoever joined the strike will not be paid a salary.
If this continues, I will wake up one day to sack them all, I swear to God. We will sack them all and declare their positions vacant on the pages of newspapers.
