The President of the Association of Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi has on Monday evening said that institutions that pulled out of the ongoing strike and opened their doors to students will regret their action in future.

Ogunyemi made this known while speaking to The Punch correspondent, who asked on his view on the perceived disunity in the union’s ranks.

The Punch reports that since the commencement of the industrial action no fewer than 6 institutions who are members of the union had pulled out of the industrial action.

The President hinted that members that pulled out of the campaign were pressured to abandon the fight by their vice-chancellors, or governing councils.

Ogunyemi said,

“Those universities perceived as pulling out are certainly not against what we are asking for. Our members are in institutions like the Obafemi Awolowo University, which decided to work against us and deliberately sabotaged our efforts to reposition the universities.

“Those who said they do not agree with us are not against the funds for revitalisation that we are demanding. They are not against academic allowances or the payments of shortfalls that we ask for. They are not against fixing our universities.

“A lot of factors have to be considered when we talk about some universities pulling out. It is not that they actually mean to do so. Some intervening forces or variables may be at work. There are cases where vice-chancellors are overzealous, although they will be the greatest beneficiaries of what we are asking for. Some institutions were compelled by their governing councils to resume academic activities. In other situations, some governors or vice-chancellors deliberately created problems for us.

“Those vice-chancellors usually end up regretting their activities, but that does not stop us from resorting to our in-house procedure in dealing with chapters that pull out of national strikes. They will all be subjected to our in-house procedures.”

He however assured that 90 percent of its members were still in support of the strike action, noting that they were not bothered by the action of some of its chapters to abandon the industrial action.

He added that the conscience of these institutions will continue to speak against them, knowing fully well that when the goodies of the strike action begins to trickle in all the institutions in questions will be partakers of the benefits.

“Over 90 per cent of our members are still together and that is good enough for us because what we are doing now is a movement and those who fail to participate will regret their actions. They know that when the Federal Government releases funds for revitalisation, all public universities will be covered. The conscience of those who refused to participate in the strike will continue to prick them. Those who sabotaged us will have a moral burden and that is what we have always told them.

“If you go to state universities, many of the new projects you will see are technically being funded with capital funds from grants coming from NEEDs assessment and TETFund. If such universities are being forced to pull out, you will know that it is always against the wish of our members. We are not bothered.”

Now ASUU is behaving like a dictatorship

..

ASUU has become a politized body. This so call strike is to cause a distraction and nothing more.

Greed will be there downfall.

These universities are independent entities who deem it fit to call off their strikes due to their peculiar situation. Just wondering why they are taking the stands of directorship.

Lol, ASUU and politics.. Everything is politicized.

This ASUU strike is a miasma of a deprecable apothesis of an hemorrhaging plutocracy, cascadinly oozing into a maladorous excresence of mobocracy. With all tarmangant ossifying proclivities of a kakistocracy, our knowledgia centura is enveloped in a paraphlegic

We in AAUA don't even know if we are on strike or not...

Is this hw universities were embarked on strike when they were in their university days and they archieved their aims . Selfish ppl people.

You can't do anything

Your members sexually abuse women, sell marks and abscond from classes while taking huge salaries in a country where minimum wage is 18k.

You've never gone on strike to weed out bad egg lecturers or until anti student policies are abolished. You've never set up hotlines to report, investigate and punish erring lecturers. It's always been about your fvcking stomachs.

Nice one. A lot of illiterates posing as students are insulting ASUU instead of telling the federal government to meet their demands. Country that don't invest in Education. Yẹyẹ third world country.
