The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State University chapter, has suspended its strike, which began on February 18.
ASUU Chairman, Dr. Peter Adamu, announced this on Monday, stating that the decision was made on Saturday.
He explained that the government showed goodwill by releasing funds to pay 60% of the withheld September 2017 salaries and the SIWES supervision allowance for five sessions. Additionally, an agreement was reached on a timeline for paying withheld salaries (May–September 2022), promotion arrears, Earned Academic Allowance (EAA), pension remittances (2009–2019), death benefits, and Group Life Assurance.
The government also committed to implementing wage awards and granting the university autonomy.
ASUU expressed gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for his intervention, as well as the university management and other stakeholders for their roles in resolving the issue.
Dr. Adamu urged all academic staff to resume work and continue serving the university community.
