ASUU Treatens To Section Uncooperative VCs

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has threatened that it would sanction some university vice chancellors who may have been “uncooperative” in the ongoing strike by the lecturers.
Prof. BiodunOgunyemi, ASUU President, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
Our correspondent reports that ASUU had commenced an indefinite strike on November 5, 2018, demanding for increased funding of the university education by the Federal Government.
Ogunyemi was reacting to the allegation that some vice chancellors have been intimidating lecturers in their institution and have ordered them back to the classroom, while some have reportedly commenced examinations.
According to him, the union may be preparing for a confrontation with some of the vice chancellors that have defaulted and failed to cooperate.
“The attitude of some of these vice chancellors is worrisome; the union will be prepared to engage such vice chancellor when the ongoing strike is suspended or called off, “ he said.
