- Timothy warned that the union “can no longer guarantee industrial harmony”
More than 30 Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) holders have left Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU) in Bauchi State due to persistent administrative challenges, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Namo Timothy, ASUU’s Bauchi Zonal Coordinator, disclosed this at a press conference on Friday, attributing the mass resignations to poor management and the university’s failure to address staff welfare.
Timothy warned that the union “can no longer guarantee industrial harmony” if the situation persists and called on the Bauchi State Government to declare a state of emergency at the institution.
He also highlighted the lack of pension and death benefits for ASUU members, as well as unpaid allowances amounting to over N650 million, dating back to 2012.
