The Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU Kano zone has accused the federal government of Nigeria of showing a nonchalant attitude on the COVID 19 protocols as preparation for the opening of tertiary institutions is on gear.
The zonal coordinator of the union(ASUU) comprising ABU, BUK, KUST,FUD, YUMSUK Kaduna state University and Sule Lamido University Dr. Abdulkadir Muhammad said the union is worried that no adequate preparation is made to reopen the universities.
He said Nigerian Universities are poorly equipped to cope with COVID 19 citing deficits in infrastructure while noting erratic Internet service also will make virtual learning difficult.
The union further said it has developed the University Transparency and Accountability Software UTAS that it expects will replace the IPPIS that was imposed on universities.
