Government Moves To End ASUU Strike At NSUK
The Special Adviser on Education to Governor Abdullahi Sule, Dr. Upav Saaior Felix, has assured students of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, of the government’s relentless efforts to resolve the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), NSUK Branch, and facilitate the return of academic activities.
Dr. Felix gave the assurance during a meeting with the leadership of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, held at the institution.
The ongoing strike by ASUU, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, continues to generate concerns among students who are eager to return to their academic programmes.
Against this backdrop, the Special Adviser on Education to Governor Abdullahi Sule, Dr. Upav Saaior Felix, who met with the leadership of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) to discuss the situation and listen to the concerns of the students, assured them that the state government was not relenting in its efforts to engage relevant stakeholders towards finding a lasting solution to the issues responsible for the strike.
While stressing that the welfare and academic progress of students remain a top priority of the administration, Dr. Felix further said the government understands the impact of the strike on students and the education sector.
He noted that ensuring the students return to school remains a major priority of the administration, and called on them to remain patient and understanding as efforts continue towards resolving the dispute.
Responding, the SRC Chairman of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Comrade Gideon Amos, expressed appreciation for the government’s engagement with the students, but emphasised the need for an early resolution of the dispute to minimise further disruption to the academic calendar and reduce the challenges associated with the prolonged suspension of academic activities.
Comrade Amos also stressed the need for the Governor Abdullahi Sule-led administration to step up efforts towards ending the strike, saying the students could no longer afford to remain out of school for much longer.
