Academic and administrative activities to continue despite strike – UniAbuja

UniAbuja’s management has stated that academic and administrative operations on campus will continue despite the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) strike.

Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, Vice-Chancellor, made this statement during a meeting with the Provost, Deans, Directors, and Heads of Academic Departments.

Dr. Habib Yakoob, Acting Director of Information and University Relations, stated this on Friday in Abuja.

The Vice Chancellor condemned the strike as divisive and unnecessary, pledging that administration would never allow the university to be crippled again.

“As far as the management of the university is concerned, this institution is not on strike.

“Some people said they have declared a strike but all of us with the management have decided that our normal activities in the university must go on.

“Our exam is going on, senate meetings will continue, everything we do as a university will continue, our calendar will not be disrupted any longer by the grace of God.

“It is wrong to cripple the university over issues that are merely sentimental and some of which we have dialogued over and resolved, we are prepared not to allow this disruption again,” he said.

He dismissed all the reported allegations of the union which they claimed informed its declaration of indefinite strike.
