As the crisis between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) continues unabated, the Vice-Chancellorof Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), in Ondo State, Prof. Femi Mimiko today threatened to call his students back to school if the two parties involved fails to resolve before the end of this month.

Mimiko, who spoke with reporters at World Pharmacists Day held in Akure, the State Capital said the management has strategic plans to recall the students back to campus in the next few days.
He stressed that the ongoing ASSU strike had affected the institution’s calendar, which for so many years has remained uninterrupted.
The Vice Chancellor noted that there was an ongoing consultation between the workers and the management on the needs to resume work, if the strike continues.
His words, “interruption of academic calendars is one of the problems we face with regards to this strike action. As you all noted, we manage to run the university for the past four years on an uninterrupted calendar.

We are particularly concern about this strike because our academic calendar has been affected.
“We are hoping that ASUU will do the needful to call off the strike as speedily as possible. We have come into the conclusion that in our own interest as a state university, we must begin to find a way to bring our students back. So we are hoping that the strike will be called off before the end of the month, otherwise we may begin to take some steps that will enable us bring our students back to the campus.
“Well, we have a blueprint on the table that we are looking at. The important thing is that we are not going to allow our students to remain at home for so long than this. If the strike is not over within a few days, we may call back our workers.
“Already, we are consulting with the lecturers because they are not employees of federal government. We do not have any substantive dispute with our workers on campus, so technically they should not have been on strike in the first instance.
“Though, we are consulting, talking to members and hoping that all of us will drive in the same direction. That is what is our strategic interest as a state university that is funded by the state government and not the federal government”

and what ill-sense are you accentuating?

Hmmm... Thats a great decision there by the VC.

By the way, i have been saying this, i am saying it and i will continue to say it, i don't see any reason why Ondo State won't lead this South-West region in the shortest possible time. The rate at which good news filter in from the state is great. Mimiko addressed the UN assembly yesterday on the health programme(Abiye Safe Motherhood Programme) that has now been accepted to be a benchmark for African health development.

Also recently, Dangote commenced the project of the Africa biggest refinery at the Olokola Free Trade Zone in Ondo State.

I won't stop without drawing your attention to the fact that AAUA charges the cheapest school fees in the region(I can't say for other regions though). Bursary(Not for only final year students like some non-thinking government would do rather right from the first year) and Scholarship awards are regular things in Ondo State. Later these hypocritical saviour will start ranting they would give Nigerians free education in 2015 if they 'assume' power. Yet, LASU, UNIOSUN, EKSU is not affordable to an average citizen. Shine your eyes Nigerians!!!

Gat to pak ma tinz 2geda kes AAUA update is on da way..........knt jes wait to get bk to akungba *Jesus Villa tins*
