Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has threatened to sack all the Kaduna State University (KASU) lecturers if they continue to observe the industrial action by ASUU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that ASUU has been on strike since February 14 over the failure of the federal government to meet its demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many attempts by the government to make the lecturers return to the classrooms have proved abortive. Recently, Nigerian Labour Congress commenced solidarity protests in some parts of the country with ASUU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, speaking on a radio programme in Kaduna on Wednesday 27 July, Gov. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, ASUU had a problem with the federal government, not the state government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his words, \u201cThe Acting Vice Chancellor has assured me that they will resume, but I have asked them to find out if they actually resumed work, because I initially instructed that their salary be stopped. But I was later told they didn\u2019t join the strike, so I asked that it should be investigated and those that collected salary and joined the strike will be asked to refund the salary.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is because Nigeria\u2019s law says \u2018no work, no pay\u2019. This is the law. So whoever joined the strike will not be paid a salary. We have been telling the KASU lecturers that they have no problem with the State government. ASUU\u2019s problem is with the Federal government. Therefore, why will our staff who have no problems with us join the strike?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf 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. They once did the same thing and we gave them warning, now they repeated it. I\u2019m only waiting to receive the report from the commissioner for education. I swear to God, we will sack all those that joined the strike if they refuse to resume work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: DailyNigerian.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n #EduSAVINGS #EduLOANS #EduSURE #INTERNSHIP #SCHOLARSHIP #EduHEALTHMAINTAINANCE #ENTERPRENUERSHIP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has threatened to sack all the Kaduna State University (KASU) lecturers if they continue<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
