The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has sacked the lecturers of Kaduna State University who joined other workers on strike in the state.
El-Rufai made this known via a statement by his media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, on Tuesday.
The statement was titled, ‘KDSG will not tolerate criminal acts disguised as industrial action’.
The statement read in part, “Any academic staff of KASU that does not report for work will be dismissed. The authorities of KASU are to submit a copy of the attendance register for all categories of staff daily to the Secretary to the State Government and the Commissioner of Education.
“All MDAs are also to submit daily copies of attendance register to the Head of Service;
“KDSG will not submit its treasury to the entitled minority. We will reform and rightsize our public service to meet the needs and resources of the Kaduna State even if the NLC strikes ad infinitum.
“The government remains committed to using all the resources it can generate to serve the interests of the majority of its citizens, providing social services beyond paying salaries, always putting the interests of the many ahead of the few,” the governor stated.
