Following the strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, The President of the union, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, has said that the universities that resumed activities despite the ongoing strike action are irrelevant and quack.
Osodeke said this on Thursday during an interview on Arise News.
He said, “Kwara State University is not a member of ASUU, they’ve not joined, you can check. Osun State University was suspended from ASUU for misbehavior, you can check.
While speaking during the interview on Arise news when asked about the situation of some universities and their actions to defy the union order. He speak about LASU that, there are pending issues in court with LASU because they sacked all our executives more than five years ago, so they were not part of this struggle.
“Ekiti State University… ASUU doesn’t run a University, the government has a right to say we have reopened, our members have the right to say that’s good for you, we are not teaching, we are on strike as it happened in Gombe State University
as it happened in Yobe State University, you can go and check as it happened in Kaduna State University so don’t cite those examples, they are irrelevant.”
He added, “Talk about the issue, is Ibadan on strike, is UNN on strike, is ABU on strike, is BUK on strike, is Maiduguri on strike, is Lagos on strike, Let us talk about the important ones not those quacks.”
