Following the statement issued on Wednesday by the management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko [AAUA], in Ondo State, ordering students and lecturers to resume on November 25, the Academic Staff Union of Universities [ASUU] of the institution, today dissociated itself from the purported resumption.
It would be recalled that the Authorities of the institution, through its Registrar, R.B Olotu said the AAUA has pulled out of the ongoing ASUU strike, adding that students are expected to resume for the second term next Monday.
But in a statement issued by the state chairman of AAUA’s ASUU, Dr. Busuyi Mekusi, he insisted that his members were still part of the ongoing national strike.
He urged ASUU members to disregard the circular calling for resumption, stressing that the University Chapter of ASUU was in support of the action of its national body.
The statement reads, “We, the executives of ASUU, AAUA chapter, wish to dissociate ourselves from the purported resumption of academic activities in the university, as its members are still part of the ongoing national strike by the Union.
“Members should therefore, disregard any pullout to abandon the struggle, and be steadfast until the present position is reviewed by NEC. The Union also wants to make it abundantly clear that it would resist every tyrannical propensity to intimidate and harass its members”.
