The dispute between the Academic Staff Union of Universities and Southern University of Science and Technology could lead to academic instability, potentially affecting the university's operations and reputation. This could deter future student enrollment and impact funding, especially if the Nigeria — Kano State government's positive efforts are undermined.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) branch at Southern University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudil, has rejected newly reviewed governing documents, deeming their approval and implementation illegal. The union, led by Dr. Aliyu Yusuf Ahmad and Dr. Musa Abubakar Ibrahim, alleges that the university administration failed to follow due process as stipulated by Section 21 of the KUST Amendment Law 2017 and other labor laws. Academic Staff Union of Universities has instructed its members to abstain from recognizing or using the documents and is seeking approval from its National Executive Council for active non-compliance. The union also accused the university administration of other violations, including not releasing audited accounts for over three years and failing to hold regular statutory meetings, despite acknowledging the positive efforts of the Nigeria — Kano State government in improving staff welfare.
