Academic institutions in the state, especially the Kaduna Polytechnic, were also shut down, while students were seen in mass returning to their homes.

Speaking, Shedrack Musa, an HND 1 student of Computer Science at Kaduna Polytechnic, said: “If I knew Kaduna Polytechnic would join the strike, I wouldn’t have wasted my transportation money to school.”

However, at Kaduna State University (KASU) many students were seen within the premises but without lectures.

Speaking on the development, the KASU spokesperson, Adamu Bargo, said: “We are working.”
