ASUU Laments Months Of Power Outage In University

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State University (KASU), has lamented months of power outage in the institution, calling on authorities responsible for restoring power to act.

ASUU Chairman, KASU, Peter Adamu, made the call in a statement issued to newsmen on Thursday in Kaduna.

Adamu said KASU was currently experiencing a total system collapse due to the prolonged power outage running into months.

He decried that the situation had gone from intermittent and epileptic power supply to a total blackout, ranging from seven months for the Kafanchan campus and to about one month at the main campus.

“This precarious situation has opened up a vista of thought-provoking discussions among staff on one hand and students on the other. In all of these discussions, the indicators portend imminent academic stagnation and dangerous ends.

“There is a feeling of pessimism, hopelessness, despair, despondency and dissent premonition that if the management of the university does not redouble their efforts, the end to this ugly situation might not be palatable,”
