In view of the fear of the unknown, The Kaduna State University (KASU) has announced the suspension of all undergraduate academic activities till further notice.
On Tuesday, Anaedoonline.ng reports that the development was made known in a statement by KASU Registrar, Mr. Samuel Manshop.
Manshop, however, noted that while the undergraduate lectures are put on hold, postgraduate programs, college of medicine, faculty of pharmaceutical sciences and part-time programs will continue with their activities.

The statement delivered in Kaduna earlier today, read: “The management of KASU wishes to notify staff, students and the public that academic activities for undergraduate students have been suspended indefinitely.
“Postgraduate programs, college of medicine, faculty of pharmaceutical sciences, and part-time programs are to continue with their activities.
“Staff is also expected to report to work as usual, while management will communicate further developments,” he said.
Anaedoonline.ng gathered that this is coming barely 24 hours after Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State dismissed 16 lecturers and 2 non-academic staff in Kaduna State University (KASU) for participating in a protest organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) in May.
Recall that the NLC embarked on two days protest in the state over the state government’s plan to sack thousands of workers.
