The Yobe State University, Damaturu, on Thursday said it received a notification of one month strike from the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

In a statement by the University’s Registrar, Dr. Kalli Gazali, in Damaturu, said ASUU informed the university management that the strike is with effect from Feb. 16.

He, however, directed a non-academic staff of the institution to continue with their normal activities as working hours remained from 8 am to 4 pm on workdays.

Gazali advised students who were still in hostels to use the university’s library to study pending when the strike would be called off.

The national body of ASUU declared a one-month warning strike on Monday over unresolved issues with the Federal Government.
