The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has warned of a possible strike in Sokoto State-owned tertiary institutions over worsening welfare conditions, calling for urgent government intervention to avert disruption of academic activities.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, ASUU branches at Sokoto State University and Shehu Shagari University of Education said their members have endured prolonged neglect despite repeated appeals to authorities.
The statement, jointly signed by ASUU-SSU Chairperson, Dr Bello Musa, and his counterpart at SSUE, Dr Shamsu Kabiru, noted that unresolved welfare issues are already straining industrial harmony and could soon disrupt teaching and research if left unaddressed.
