“Any other reason given by ASUU is an alibi. I invited ASUU for a zoom meeting in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines, but they insisted on meeting me face to face.
According to him, ASUU as an employee lacks the right to dictate to the federal government on how to receive wages. He said that there had been a shortfall in tax returns by the various universities over time which accumulated to over N800 billion.
