Kaduna State University (KASU) shuts down after three non-teaching staff unions begin a seven-day warning strike. The strike starts at midnight on Tuesday, November 10, and leads to the university being closed, despite an interim court order restraining the unions from taking industrial action.
The dispute is linked to welfare and pay concerns raised by the unions, which include unpaid allowances, salary adjustments and other outstanding issues. Premium Times places the focus on the court injunction and the background to it, noting that the unions issued an ultimatum to the Kaduna State Government and university management before the strike.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria emphasise the apparent defiance of the court order and the shutdown that follows. Overall, outlets broadly agree on the main sequence: a court restraining order is issued, unions announce a seven-day action linked to unpaid welfare matters, and the university closes once the strike begins.
