The management of Kaduna State University (KASU) has scheduled to commence full academic activities for the 2020/2021 academic year on May 9, despite the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
KASU, in a circular dated April 26, and signed by its academic secretary, Abdullahi Zubairu, directed all students and lecturers of the institution to resume academic activities on the said date.
Mr. Zubairu also advised all the lecturers and students to abide by the academic calendar.
Last week, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said the decision to suspend the industrial action embarked upon by ASUU could only be taken by the union.
Ngige, who appeared on national television, had advised ASUU’s leadership to meet with the Benimi Briggs Committee in order to end the strike, which has entered its second month.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has restated the important role the capital market plays in the development of any nation through infrastructure funding. Director-General of the SEC, Lamido Yuguda, stated this when a team from the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) visited the commission in Abuja. Mr. Yuguda said that the capital market can do more in the areas of provision of long-term funds to develop infrastructure for the country and support developmental projects. He also welcomed the collaboration with the NESG, stating that both organisations could do more to boost the economy of Nigeria. The SEC boss noted that the telecommunications companies are successful because the services are not free of charge. Kevin Madu
