THE Kano State University of Science and Technology, Wudil chapter of ASUU has directed its members to sensitise their respective communities to the reasons why the union embarked on strike.
The acting Chairman of the chapter, Dr Abdu Yaro, gave the directive on Tuesday at a public enlightenment rally organised by the union in Wudil town.
He said the directive was necessary in order to properly inform parents and other members of the public who were being misinformed by those he described as ``agents of blackmail’’.
The ASUU official said the purpose of the struggle was not about salaries but ``to clear the rot and decay in the university system’’.
He stressed the need for members of the union to enlighten parents, students and other stakeholders on the issue in view of the negative impression created over the strike.
``The strike is not in respect of salaries, but because we want the Federal Government to implement the agreement it had signed with the union in 2009,’’ Yaro said.
He said the union would continue with the strike until the Federal Government meets its demands.
``No country or society will achieve meaningful development without according the necessary attention to the education sector,’’ Yaro said.
He urged the Federal Government to provide the needed funds and facilities to the universities so as to salvage the entire sector.
``ASUU has resolved to rescue the education system from the current disaster, and it is certain of collective victory,’’ the ASUU official said.
