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 [ASSU] 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”.
