Get Guardian on GoogleThe academic and non-academic staff of the Kaduna State College of Nursing Sciences embarked on a three-day warning strike on Monday.
Incoming reports say the strike has crippled activities across the institution’s three campuses in Kaduna, Kafanchan, and Pambegua, while lectures and administrative activities were completely grounded as staff withdrew their services, leaving students stranded.
In a statement signed by the union chairman, Dr. Daniel Danboyi, the workers accused the college management of frustrating career progression and neglecting staff welfare despite repeated appeals.
“We have resolved to down tools for three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as a warning strike to press home our demand for the promotion of qualified staff whose cases have been pending for three years,” the statement partly read.
The unions warned that if issues are not addressed within the warning period, they may resort to an indefinite strike.
They also appealed to Governor Uba Sani for intervention, stressing that an urgent resolution is necessary to prevent a prolonged industrial dispute.
