By Israel Bulus, KadunaAcademic activities in Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions were on Tuesday brought to a halt as workers under the umbrella of the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions of Kaduna State (JUTIKS) and the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), Gidanwaya chapter, embarked on an indefinite strike over the state government’s alleged failure to honour a salary agreement. Consequently, JUTIKS has no choice but to declare an indefinite strike, effective September 30,” Suleiman said. Yerima accused the Kaduna State Government of showing preferential treatment to other categories of workers while neglecting staff of tertiary institutions. While some workers enjoy 100 per cent salary structures, our members have been stuck with an obsolete 80 per cent structure for over 15 years. Both unions called on their members to remain united and ensure total compliance until their demands are met.
