Strike: ASUU Invades Anti-corruption Program, Stops Soyinka, Ezekwesili From Spe by 3Ebisco: 3:41am On Dec 13, 2018
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Abuja chapter on Wednesday prevented Noble Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon Rtd and former Education Minister, Dr Oby Ezekwesili from speaking at an anti-corruption event.

The union led by its chairman, Dr Kasim Umaru, disrupted the event held at the University of Abuja.

Umaru told NAN in a telephone interview on Wednesday that they disrupted the programme because of the ongoing strike, adding that they have no regret for their actions.

He said such magnitude of programme could not hold in the institution because lecturers were also involved in the event.

“Those eminent personalities for the programme are all aware of our plight and did nothing, we disrupted the event because we are on strike,” he said.

The convener of the event and National Coordinator of African Initiative Against Corruption and Exam Malpractice AFICEM, Dr Francis Abioye regretted the action of the ASUU, saying they erred by disrupting the event.

Abioye said the management of the university had earlier approved the institution’s auditorium as venue for the anti corruption programme.

He said the programme was not an academic event, but was organized to educate Nigerians especially students against corruption and related cases.

In his remarks, the university Students’ Union Government (SUG), President, Mr Chizurum Anabaronye said the development was regrettable and disappointing.

“It is unfortunate because students would have benefited immensely in the programme considering the personalities involved in the programme.

“Wole Soyinka is a person every student wants to see and the only opportunity to hear him speak was disrupted, we mobilized the students for the event but later communicated to them on the development,” he said.

One of the facilitators and Osun High Court Judge, Justice Oloyode Folahanmi, who also spoke to NAN said AFICEM planned to celebrate the 2018 anti corruption day with a lecture on the `Benefits of Examination Ethics’ which was disrupted.

“The Noble Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka, other eminent persons and myself were to speak to Nigerian students on the need to abide by the rules guiding examination ethics.

“We are partners in progress, we feel the plight of ASUU and we want to fix Nigerian problem so it was wrong to disrupt the programme,” he said.

While calling on FG to address the demands of ASUU, Folahanmi said the reason for targeting students was because of the belief that quest for societal regeneration must begin with the youths.

Has Wole Soyinka become the Minister of Labour and Industries? Why disrupt an event that has no government involvement?


This was a right move at the wrong event. ASUU should try disrupting APC presidential campaign events.

ASUU will never get better even if the government meet their present demands. Its a group of educated gangstars who are insatiable and covetious.
They teach students with such brutal irresponsibility, lack innovation, and have lost understanding of the very proffesion they teach. They are rust and irrelevant to the technological and economic development of the country.
South Korea became what it is today because of education. Education provided by lecturers without incentives from the government at that time. They hibernated inward and spent years building the leaders of tomorrow.

Seconded. Honestly, if I'm the President, I don't think I'll be disbursing money to these Universities for now... You have to show me what you've used all those funds you've been collecting for and also how much revenue you've generated apart from student fees.

It's high time our Universities learn to use the knowledge they teach us to generate funds for themselves, only then will the Educational system change. Government should learn to give out funds to Universities that has shown sign of life and I doubt if we have up to 5 of them in Nigeria.

1. Poor Generalization.
2. South Korean government provided an enabling environment for education to thrive (b/c the elitist children school there), hence the outcome sir.
3. Take a good look our primary and secondary education system and you will understand where they're leading the university.
A word is enough.
