take dat: Daily Post is rather confused. The University resumed on the 2nd of December which was just 5 days ago. The opening day ceremony for the new lecturers was held last week monday which was on the 25th of November, it means the new lecturers were employed long before the 25th of November. The link you provided which reported that the VC has commenced recruitment was dated 28th of November. How can you commence recruitment when the university had already finished recruitment long before then? This was why I felt the university only recruited more lecturers.

You have your point and
I respect your opinion Bro.
You are more reasonable.

eGuerrilla: Psych Ops methinks.

Tout! Grow some matters...
Why must you always insult?
Can't you drop a reasonable comment
If you have anything against the report, talk to the source/link not the Op.

take dat: The same monday, Daily Post said it visited the school and saw some old lecturers teaching happened to be the same day the university held the 'Opening Ceremony of a two-day orientation programme organized by the Institution for the new academics'.

The VC also 'commended them for being found worthy of employment after rigorous interviews'. It shows that the recruitment exercise started long ago(anyone familiar with recruitment process would know it takes a long time), making it doubtful that the were recruited to replace the 'sacked' lecturers. The school was under-staffed so it recruited more teaching staff! Moreover, there is nothing to prove that the school sacked stricking lecturers(the deadline given by FG is yet to expire). This story is the handiwork of a confused journalist.

AAUA's management pulled out of the strike action before the FG ordered all Federal Unis to immediately reopen and even before the FG issued a deadline to the striking lecturers.
Few weeks ago, AAUA's management announced the automatic sack of any lecturer that failed to resume work and also last week or so, announced the start of their recruitment process.
Lastly, the AAUA's management (VC) is kinda desperate and not even working with the FG's deadline just like FUTO.

Adex097: Good one from AAUA, ma sister's friend was recruited some weeks ago too...the funniest part of it is that, the guy just finished serving and has no masters degree.

God help us in this country

A testifier in the House and many more to come.
Welcome to Nigeria, where nothing is impossible. Recruitment process can start and end within 24hrs in Nigeria.
AAUA's management is more desperate than even the FG.. Just wondering why.

The crisis between the embattled members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities [ASUU], Adekunle Ajasin University [AAUA], Ondo state and their management is now deepened as new lecturers have been employment to replace the striking lecturers.

Recall that when DailyPost visited the campus last Monday, some old lecturers were seen in various lecture rooms teaching , thinking the AAUA authorities and the striking workers have agreed to end the five months old strike.

However, with a statement later issued by the AAUA ASUU’s Chairman, Dr. Meruyi Mekusi, insisting that they will not call off the strike until their national body orders them to do so might have forced the management to recruit new lecturers.

Relatively, the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Femi Mimiko, has charged the newly recruited lecturers to key into the work ethics of the Institution and always observe the values of the teaching profession.

Prof. Mimiko, who also enjoined the academics to be loyal to the University at all times, gave the charge on Monday last week at the Opening Ceremony of a two-day orientation programme organized by the Institution for the new academics.

The VC said, “Our expectations from you on the job are to be in constant search for knowledge and devise the innovative way of dissemination. There must not be mention of you in anything that is not worthy. Be role models to students and enhance their moral standard. You must be like counselors to them at all times. Be shapers of opinions. Engage in constructive criticism of society. Be solution generators. Be focused and play a big role in national development.


“AAUA is a public trust that is dedicated to building leaders. You must, therefore, be loyal to the system. We expect you to give to this University an undiluted loyalty. We just launched AAUA ALWAYS as a new campaign. The message is that you must think about this University at all times.”

While the VC commended them for being found worthy of employment after rigorous interviews, he said that the orientation became necessary to expose them to AAUA culture.

He said, “This induction is to expose you to our own peculiar form of pedagogy that we want you to imbibe and to continue to sustain.”

The VC was one of the four resource persons at the orientation programme and he spoke on “Who is an Academic?” He said the new intakes were supposed to teach, engage in research and community service.

Prof. Mimiko urged those among them who were yet to earn Ph. D. to pursue it vigorously, saying, “For us, Ph. D. is a must have. Those who are yet to possess the Ph. D. should know that the most important thing that we will ask when you get here is, ‘How far you are going in the pursuit of knowledge, leading to the award of the Ph. D?”

He promised that the University would give them support to undertake Ph.D. Programme in any University of their choice.

Other speakers were the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Prof. Rotimi Ajayi, who spoke on “Academic Profession in the 21st Century”; Prof. Francis Oyebade, who examined “AAUA Academic Culture”; and Prof. Niyi Akinnaso, who spoke on “21st Century Teaching”.

Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, has disconnected electricity supply to Benin Airport over unpaid accumulated bills.

The power supply to the airport was disconnected last week.

Passengers were seen sweating profusely at the arrival and departure halls of the airport yesterday, with several passengers having to fan themselves with newspapers as all air conditioners in the halls and adjourning offices were switched off as the electricity generating plants could not power them.

A staff of the airport who spoke on condition of anonymity told journalists that power supply to the airport was cut over a week ago by the electricity distribution company, despite the fact that about N2 million was being paid monthly to the power company.

“The management pays between N1.8 million and N2 million every month, yet they came to disconnect us last week. We have been running on generators and they are not powerful enough to carry the air conditioners.”

Public Relations Officer of Benin Electricity Company, Mr. Curtis Nwiadei, when contacted, confirmed that power supply to the airport was disconnected over unpaid bill of N4.3 million, adding, “that is why they were disconnected.”

The disconnection was not the first time the airport had been accused of non-payment of dues/bills. A few months ago, Edo State Board of Internal Revenue Board sealed off the office of the airport manager over unpaid taxes deducted from workers’ salaries for several years without remittances to the state government.

Bamanga Tukur says the vacuum created by the death of Mr. Lar will be difficult to fill because Mr. Lar “was an emancipator of the less privileged and a democrat of repute”.
Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau on Friday in Abuja, renamed the Plateau State University after Solomon Lar, the late first executive Governor of the state.
Mr. Jang announced this at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, where the remains of the late politician were formally received on arrival from London.
His corpse arrived at the airport at 6.00 a.m. aboard a British Airways flight BA-O83 from London where he died on Oct. 9, at the age of 80.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr. Lar, who was also the pioneer National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, midwifed the formation of the party and led it to victory in the 1999 general election.
Mr. Jang also announced that Dec. 11 to 13 would be observed as mourning days in Plateau to honour the departed.
He declared that Dec. 13, the day Mr. Lar would be finally laid to rest, would be observed as work-free day in the state.
According to Bamanga Tukur, the PDP National Chairman, the vacuum created by the death of Mr. Lar would be difficult to fill.
This, he said, was so because Mr. Lar “was an emancipator of the less privileged and a democrat of repute”, adding that the late politician was “the light in the firmament of Nigerian politics’’.
Mr. Tukur said Mr. Lar was one among those who openly challenged the military during the military administration in the country.
Danladi Wuyep, a Special Assistant to the late Mr. Lar for several years, said the deceased preached peace, unity and godliness in his life time.
Mr. Wuyep said that even on his sick bed, Mr. Lar was worried about the current crisis rocking the PDP and had always prayed that enduring peace and unity was enthroned in the party.
Mr. Lar was said to have stood up to the dreaded Abacha regime when he personally handed over a letter from the G-8 (group of eight prominent politicians that formed the PDP) to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.
The late governor studied at the Sudan United Mission Primary School in Langtang and later proceeded to the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he graduated in 1970 with a law degree and was called to the bar in 1971.
He  was elected councillor in the Langtang Native Authority in January 1959 and was later elected to the Federal Parliament on the platform of United Middle Belt Congress (UMBC) on Dec. 12, 1959.
He was a member of the first National Parliament when Nigeria gained independence in 1960 and was Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa before the January 1966 coup which brought in the military.
At the start of the Second Republic, Mr. Lar became co-founder of the Nigerian People’s Party, where he was nominated the party’s presidential candidate in 1978.
He later won the governorship election in Plateau and became the first executive governor of the state on Oct.1 1979.
The late Mr. Lar introduced reforms in the state’s employment laws, abolishing the daily pay and contract systems; and introduced payment of allowances for nursing mothers on maternity leave in the state.
He was appointed Minister of Police Affairs by the government of General Sani Abacha. He resigned when he realised that Mr. Abacha was not serious about restoring democracy to the country.
In February 2010, he was appointed Chairman of the Presidential Committee tasked with the responsibility of recommending how to prevent further violence in Plateau state.
Mr. Lar has been described by associates and loyalists as a colourful politician whose symbol was his white handkerchief and a peculiar cap.
The PDP national leadership had earlier said that the party would ensure a befitting burial for him.
His remains were received at the airport by the PDP National Chairman, Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau, for Information Minister, Jerry Gana, former Plateau state deputy governor. Paulin Tallen and the FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed, who represented President Goodluck Jonathan.
Also at the airport were Sarah Ochepe, Minister of Water Resources, and some Christian associations.
A brief mass was conducted at the airport in his honour before his remains were eventually conveyed to his Abuja Maitama residence.
