The Department of State Services on Thursday appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off the ongoing strike.
The Director of the Service in charge of Yobe, Mr. Yunusa Abdulkadir, made the plea in Damaturu at the Third Quarterly Conference of the State Directors of Security in the North-East Zone.
He noted that the strike, which paralyzed university education in the country, had security implications.
“In as much as we know that ASUU is pursuing a genuine cause, they should take a deeper look at the peculiarities of the North-East region that has stayed for over a decade in the hands of insurgents,” Yunusa said.
