Despite the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU) ASUU
stance on going on with its strike,
some universities have ordered
their lecturers and students to resume
academic activities.
According to report, the authorities of the
University of Jos have directed lecturers to
resume work immediately. The university's
registrar, Jilli Dandam, issued a statement, which
reads in part: "The Pro Chancellor and Chairman
of Council on behalf of the Governing Council has
directed that all academic staff of the University
of Jos should return to their various departments,
units and commence work immediately. Every
head of department should publish lecture time-
table for all academic programmes immediately."
Similarly, the authorities of the Federal University
of Technology Owerri, Imo State, had issued a
directive for lecturers and students to return to
classes.
The directive was contained in a press statement
issued to journalists yesterday and signed by the
registrar and secretary to the council of the
school, Orje Ishghnor. According to the
statement, the school had called off the strike
based on the directive of the federal government.
However, the FUTO chapter of ASUU told the
students to disregard the resumption notice by
the school management, stating that its
members would not go back to the class until
their agreement between the federal government
is met. This was contained in a communiqué
issued to journalists and signed by the state
chairman, Dr Ikenna Nwachukwu, and secretary,
Dr F.M. Dike, yesterday in Owerri.
Also, lecturers of the Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, and Osun State University have refused to
report at their duty posts despite the FG's
directive that they should go back to work.
The chairman of the OAU chapter of ASUU,
Professor Akinola Adegbola, told journalist at Ile-Ife
that the threat by the federal government to sack
lecturers who refused to resume for work was not
new.
According to him, such threat was experienced
during the regime of the late General Sani Abacha
and the resultant effect is still fresh in the mind of
Nigerians
