The management of Bayero University, Kano State, has put on hold till further notice all academic activities, including the ongoing 2022/2023 first semester undergraduate examinations.

The acting Registrar of the institution, Mrs Amina Abdullahi, said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday night.

The statement noted that the suspension followed the nationwide strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, and a subsequent decision by the university unions to join the strike.

“It should be noted that the ongoing examinations are halfway through, and as soon as the strike is over, the examinations will continue,” the statement concluded.
