Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, says it will petition the Nigerian Universities Comission, NUC, and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, over conduct of examination by Kaduna State University, KASU, management amidst ongoing strike by the union.
This was contained in a statement on Monday in Kaduna by ASUU Kano Zonal Coordinator, Abdulkadir Muhammad.
KASU, on May 23, said it would disqualify students with less than 75 per cent attendance from writing its second semester examination.
The varsity’s management had also on April 26, announced resumption of academic activities on May 9 for the continuation of the Second Semester 2020/2021 academic session amidst the ASUU strike.
Muhammad said the examinations should be re-conducted after following the due process and suspension of the ongoing sirike, otherwise, the Union will be left with no option but to write a petition to the NUC and the ICPC against the Management of KASU.
He said in order to maintain and raspect the sacred system of evaluation in the university system, all written examinations in KASU amidst the strike should be discarded.
He added that the ASUU, Kano Zone, met on Aug. 7 and deliberated on alleged intimidation against their members by the government due to the ongoing nationwide strike directed by the ASUU national body.
