ASUP Boss Faints During Meeting - After Receiving Fake Call Over Wife’s Death

By Adebayo Waheed - 19.09.2009

THE chairman of the striking lecturers of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Ibadan, Oyo State, Comrade Babatunde Dosunmu, slumped and fainted, on Friday, while addressing the congress on the latest development of the strike which they embarked upon on July 8.

Dosunmu was trying to persuade the lecturers to be more resolute and get their hearts together and take a firm stance on the threat by the state government that it would sack them if they failed to resume duty.

The union leader had received a phone call which reportedly informed him that his wife had died at home.

On the receipt of the call, he shouted and fainted. It took a long time before his colleagues could revive him.

As a result, the congress was temporarily suspended before another member of the union stood in for the chairman where they passed a resolution that they would not sign any document and wait for the worse.

He was quickly driven away by members of the union to get medical attention. As he was being driven away, the striking lecturers kept on warning him not to go to the institution’s health centre.

About 20 minutes later, he re-appeared and it was gathered that the information he received on the phone was fake and that it was intended to distract him.

Meanwhile, the lecturers have agreed to sign the register opened by the management of the institution but insisted that the strike would continue until the state government met their demands.
