The Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba-Akoko [AAUA] in Ondo State,
yesterday partially commenced lectures
as majority of the students have
resumed for their second semester.
Our correspondent who visited the
campus has reported that some
departments have commenced
teaching already.
It was learnt that the Vice-Chancellor,
Prof. Femi Mimiko personally monitored
the classes to ensure that the lecturers
comply with the federal government
order..
Some of the lecturers might have pulled
out of the strike following a threat by
the management that failure to resume
may lead to termination of
appointment.
Lectures held at History, Education and
Mass Communication Department.
Already, the Management, through its
registrar, R.O Olotu on Sunday sent a
reminder to the students that, it was
committed to reopening the institution
for lectures.
A 400 Level student of History,
Oladimeji Ogunwale who spoke to
DailyPost said, “we have resumed and I
received a lecture this morning. I think
other Departments are also going on
with their lectures.”
Also, a 200 level student of Mass
Communication Department, Omoyemi
Akinmolayan, said, “I think our Vice-
Chancellor has compassion on us and
that was why he asked us to resume;
we have stayed too long at home. It is a
very good development. I know that
lectures will continue without
interruption”
When asked if the lecturers who taught
them were newly employed he said,
said “there are no new lecturers in my
department for now. We still have the
old ones, who were in the class this
morning. It is good that we have
resumed. As a final year student, I am
very happy despite that ASUU has really
wasted our time”
The AAUA ASUU Chairman, Dr. Busuyi
Mekusi could not be reached as his
mobile phone was switched off as at
press time.
