The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudi, today voiced out concerns over the management style
A statement signed by Aliyu Yusuf Ahmad, PhD Chairperson, and A Abubakar Ibrahim Tukur, PhD, the Secretary that was made available to newsmen shortly after its congress sounded a resolute note of dismay against the prevailing leadership style of the University Administration.
The congress in the statement expressed concern over the inability of the ‘University Administration to Improve the working and living conditions of staff and students for effective research, teaching and learning.’
The Academic Staff to “Release the Audited Accounts of the University for the years 2023 and 2024, Budget Performance Reports of the University for 20 quarters from January 2020 to December 2024 in flagrant violation of Statute 5 of the KUST (Amendment law) 2017 and provide clarification on bogus and unexplained expenditure contained in the Budget Performance Reports of First Quarter 2025 and Second Quarter 2025, “
The university lecturers further enjoined the management to “Recruit required number of academic staff especially in the newly established department and regularize the appointments of members who were unduly placed on contract appointments rather than permanent. “
The Congress charged the management to “Reconnect all sections of the University to regular electricity supply, and settle the outstanding entitlements of members.”
The union therefore called on stakeholders and the good citizens of the State to prevail on the Vice-Chancellor to run the University in strict compliance with enabling laws to avoid industrial disharmony.
