By Abdullahi Yusuf

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, Kano State chapter, has decried the dissolution of the institution’s Governing Council by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

ln a statement issued to newsmen in Kano on Wednesday, the union described as “inappropriate,” the dissolution of the council which was effected by the Governor on May 29, 2023.

According to the release which was signed by the union’s Chairperson, Dr.Aliyu Yusuf Ahmad, and its Secretary, Dr.Mudassir Nasir, said the union was dismayed over the continuous running of the institution, formerly known as Kano State University of Science and Technology, without a Governing Council, as a result of the dissolution.

It said this was in breach and disregarded the provisions of the Kano State University of Science and Technology (Amendment) Law of 2017.

The union, therefore, called on the Governor to, as a matter of urgency, reconstitute the Governing Council “in order to avoid paralyzing the University System.”

It then urged the State Government to settle the outstanding entitlements of staff of the university.
