The Kaduna State University branch of ASUU says its lecturers are not on strike and that all academic work should carry on as normal.
The clarification came in a statement signed on Thursday by the branch chairman, Abubakar Abdullahi, and secretary, Silas Amos Bakut.
They said the message was needed to correct false reports that the university had shut down and that classes and other academic work had been stopped.
The union asked students to stay focused and keep up with their studies.
It also urged parents and guardians to make sure their children stay on campus and get ready for the coming exams.
The statement said lecturers should keep doing their jobs, including teaching, research, project supervision, exam preparation and invigilation.
They should be at their posts and have full access to offices, lecture halls, labs and other facilities.
The union said it will not excuse any lecturer who skips duties without a good reason.
ASUU also asked its members to record and report any harassment, intimidation or blocking of their work so the matter can be dealt with.
Students were told to report any misconduct to the university authorities too.
The branch said it supports the fight of the Joint Action Committee affiliates for their rights, but insisted that protests and strikes must stay within the law and must not violate the rights of others on campus.
The branch also warned that it will not tolerate harassment, intimidation or victimisation of its members, and that anyone behind such acts will be held responsible.
The rumours come as non-teaching staff unions at KASU began a seven day warning strike on Tuesday, November 10.
The unions are protesting over the failure to implement the 2026 agreements, unpaid arrears, a 25 per cent pay rise and minimum wage adjustments.
