According to the union’s chairman, Dr Peter Adamu, the strike is a result of the Kaduna State Government’s breach of trust and failure to meet the union’s demands.

Adamu stated, “Due to the government’s failure to meet our demands, we were left with no choice but to resume the industrial action.” He expressed the union’s determination to ensure that the government meets their demands before returning to duty.

The strike is expected to disrupt academic activities in the university. Adamu emphasised the union’s resolve, saying, “We are determined to ensure that the government meets their demands before we return to duty.” The union’s action highlights the ongoing tensions between ASUU and the Kaduna State Government over workers’ welfare and university autonomy
