FRESH crisis is brewing at the Lagos State University, LASU,
as the general congress of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, of the institution, weekend, suspended its
union’s executive members led by Mr. Adekunle Idris for lack
of focus and poor leadership style.
The decision which was arrived after an extensive deliberation
by the congress subsequently, announced the establishment of
an interim executive led by Asokere Ayodele to take charge of
the union’s affairs until a properly constituted executive for the
union is put in place.
The congress also directed that a five-man investigative panel
be constituted to probe activities of the suspended ASUU-
LASU executives.
Asokere, along with two others, Afobuno Sunday and Rasaq
Adewale Olowu conveyed the congress’ decisions at a media
briefing at the weekend. They said that the union’s emergency
congress held on Thursday, December 11, 2014 had in
attendance about 150 academic staff out of the 450 staff who
are active on campus at the period of the congress.
According to Asokere, the congress was well-attended going
by records of the past attendance, adding that available
records of members’ attendance at previous congresses
showed that the number of attendees was normally between
50 and 100.
The interim chairman said that the notice of the exco’s
suspension was being communicated to the various groups
affected by the decision including the ASUU Lagos, the ASUU
national, the LASU management and the suspended
executives.
“At a well-attended congress meeting of the union, we
reviewed the events unfolding within the union in the last 21
months under the regime of Mr. Adekunle Idris-led exco. After
extensive deliberations, it was decided that since the Idris–led
excos has lost focus and has displayed gross incapability to
hold the union as one, leading to its balkanization, the exco is
hereby suspended.
