Kano Police Stop ASUU Plan to Hold Rally

Kano State Police Command on Thursday foiled a planned public awareness rally by members of the Bayero University Kano (BUK) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU).
 
The police armed with tear gas canisters were stationed at the main gate of the BUK to prevent the aggrieved lecturers from staging the protest  outside the school premises.
 
Some of the placards carried by the lecturers read: 'Universities must be revitalized'; 'ASUU will not give up without adequate funding'; 'Development is a mirage' and 'It is government that must pay of university education, not the common man'.

Chairman of BUK, ASUU chapter, Dr Mahmud Lawan condemned the action of the police.

Lawan  added the union would remain resolute in support of its national leadership to ensure the revival of the deplorable university system in the country.
