Kaduna Nursing College Staff Commence 3-day Strike Over Non-Promotion

The Academic and Non -academic staff of the Kaduna State College of Nursing Sciences commenced a three-day warning strike.
The industrial action, spearheaded by the workers’ unions, becomes necessary as they pointed out the deliberate refusal by the management to promote eligible staff for three consecutive years, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
It was gathered the strike has paralysed activities across the institution’s three campuses in Kaduna, Kafanchan, and Pambegua.
The union chairman, Dr. Daniel Danboyi, who made this disclosure through a statement , accused the college management of frustrating career progression and neglecting staff welfare despite repeated appeals.
“We have resolved to down tools for three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as a warning strike to press home our demand for the promotion of qualified staff whose cases have been pending for three years,” the statement partly read.
The unions, which further warned that if the management failed to address the matter within the warning period, they would be left with no choice but to embark on an indefinite strike, just as he also appealed to Governor Uba Sani to wade into the crisis, adding that the situation, if not urgently resolved, could degenerate into a prolonged industrial dispute.
