The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, has said that any move by the Nigerian government or its agents to ban the union will fail. This was contained in his remarks on Thursday at a special commemorative programme organised by the union in honour of the immediate past Vice Chancellor of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Prof Ganiyu Olatunji, held at ASUU secretariat.
October 21, 2022Osodeke said ASUU’s philosophy was premised on aligning with a worthy cause for the progress of the country’s educational sector.
Osodeke said ASUU’s philosophy was premised on aligning with a worthy cause for the progress of the country’s educational sector and its positive multiplier effects on every other areas of the nation. “I can see why Ngige is interested in banning ASUU because once ASUU is proscribed, all the union’s assets automatically become federal government’s property, even when the government is bereft of ideas to put in place, qualitative assets in the midst of sufficient funds at its disposal as done in the University of Ibadan, UniPort, University of Maiduguri among other places.”
