Following the statement issued on
Wednesday by the management of
Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-
Akoko [AAUA], in Ondo State, ordering
students and lecturers to resume on
November 25, the Academic Staff Union of Universities [ASSU] of the
institution, today dissociated itself
from the purported resumption. It would be recalled that the
Authorities of the institution, through
its Registrar, R.B Olotu said the AAUA
has pulled out of the ongoing ASUU
strike, adding that students are
expected to resume for the second term next Monday. But in a statement issued by the state
chairman of AAUA’s ASUU, Dr. Busuyi
Mekusi, he insisted that his members
were still part of the ongoing national
strike. He urged ASUU members to disregard
the circular calling for resumption,
stressing that the University Chapter
of ASUU was in support of the action
of its national body. The statement reads, “We, the
executives of ASUU, AAUA chapter, wish
to dissociate ourselves from the
purported resumption of academic
activities in the university, as its
members are still part of the ongoing national strike by the Union. “Members should therefore, disregard
any pullout to abandon the struggle,
and be steadfast until the present
position is reviewed by NEC. The Union
also wants to make it abundantly clear
that it would resist every tyrannical propensity to intimidate and harass its
members”.
