In a statement issued in Kaduna on Friday, the student leaders acknowledged the dedication of lecturers in advocating for better funding and improved working conditions in universities.

“We acknowledge that since assuming office, Governor Uba Sani has shown commitment to student welfare, especially by reducing tuition fees and implementing an educational revitalization program. However, we appeal for a swift resolution as we are the ones most affected by this strike,” the students said.

They emphasized that the strike has disrupted their academic calendar and future prospects, urging both ASUU and the government to prioritize education and reach a middle ground.

Highlighting Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to fairness and human capital development, the students expressed confidence that he would consider ASUU’s demands with understanding and compassion.
