Staff fury boiling over: Katsina’s tertiary institutions unions demand action within 14 days (from Dec. 29) on stalled salaries, health schemes, and sky-high fees—or else.
Joint Consultative Forum Chair Muhammad Nasir-Gidado (also ASUP boss at Hassan Usman Katsina Poly) fired the warning Wednesday. Top gripes: Unpaid 35%/25% salary hikes; delayed CONTISS-15 placement despite Gov. Dikko Radda’s Sept. nod (accrued arrears piling); “exploitative” state health scheme; fee surges slashing enrolments, forcing dropouts. “Education’s a social service, not profit trap,” he slammed.
Pension sensitization praised, but healthcare probe pending. Post-deadline meet to plot next steps.
