We Are Ready To Resume, Varsity Lecturers Tell FG by mamotalk: 2:07pm On Aug 26, 2020 |
Lecturers under the aegis of Congress of University Academics have asked the Federal Government to reopen tertiary institutions in the country . CONUA is a breakaway faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities. CONUA made this known in a press statement on Wednesday after its National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja. The statement, which was signed by CONUA’ s National Coordinator , Niyi Sunmonu, was titled ‘ Stop intimidation of CONUA members ’ . The lecturers urged FG to reopen universities as soon as possible . The statement added , “ The meeting called on the government to reopen universities as soon as possible as CONUA members are ready to resume work . “ It however added that everything necessary in terms of COVID -19 protocols must be put in place before reopening the universities in order to prevent students and staff from contracting the disease. “ CONUA further stated that the education sector cannot continue to stagnate, as it appears that COVID -19 would continue to be a threat and we must, in the circumstance , learn to strive to lead our normal life . “ Union thus urged the government to make available everything that can help our universities to resume work as is being done elsewhere in the world. ” CONUA also condemned alleged intimidation and harassment of some of its members by “ some university administrations and some other unions within the University” . The statement added in part , “ While saluting those university administrations which held meetings to promote academic staff members during the COVID -19 lockdown , the Union condemned in strong terms those administrations who failed to organise such exercises , despite that several academic staff have been waiting for their promotions for a long time , with some spanning five to ten years. “ The Union received information to the effect that some universities held Senate meetings and Congregation elections but refused to convene any meeting to carry out the promotion of its members , simply because some people threatened that such promotions, if ever announced , will be reversed . “ CONUA leadership felt outraged by such pronouncements and expressed its resolve to support any efforts by university administrations to facilitate the due promotion of academic staff members. ” https://punchng.com/we-are-ready-to-resume-varsity-lecturers-tell-fg/ |
