As the Benue state university Makurdi
ASUU chapter meets today over the order
by the Benue state governor Mr Gabriel
Suswam for them to return back to class or
risk being sacked, one point should be
made clear to the governor and his
supporters that this is dictatorial approach
that should be condemned by all.
I am made to understand that the
university will benefit 900 million naira
from the 130 billion naira intervention fund
by the federal government.And already
the governor and his supporters are
already claiming that it was their effort
that this money will be granted to the
university.I must make this point clear to
everyone that, it was the bold action of
the lecturers that the university is
benefiting from the intervention fund from
the federal government and not Suswam's
individual effort.The money is not from the
Benue state coffers so the governor should
not use this as a cheap propaganda for
achievement in his ineffective
administration.
The lecturers should not be intimidated by
his utterances and should continue with
the struggle.The struggle so far has
produced 900 million naira and this will go
a long way in lifting the school
infrastructure for better learning
environment.They should make their
position clear to the governor today that
we are not in a military administration but
in a democratic dispensation.After all you
all are intellectuals.I also know that those
that got employed the wrong way may
want to go the side of the governor but
majority carries the vote.Benue state
university Makurdi is part of ASUU and
what the national body is fighting for is the
fight for all.

Dnt mind the id.iot,always looking for relavance,the worst performed governor so far in middle belt
