ASUU, AAUA On Collision Course Over Resumption Order

Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko chapter and the management of the University are now trading words. This is as a result of the directive given by the management that students should resume back for academic activities. ASUU is still on strike and the AAUA chapter has dissociated itself from the purported resumptions of academic activities in AAUA.

ASUU, AAUA On Collision Course

The striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko chapter, Ondo State and the university authorities are on a collision course over a directive that the students should resume for lectures.

Gates to the nation’s public universities have been shut in the last 144 days due to trade dispute between ASUU and the Federal Government

Registrar of the state-owned university, R. B. Olotu in a statement in Akure directed the students to resume on Monday, November 25 for the second semester 2012/2013 session.

But in a swift reaction, the ASUU Chapter of the university  dissociated itself from the purported resumption of academic activities in the university.

The Chapter’s chairperson,  Busuyi Mekusi  in a statement  asked members to disregard the directive.

Mekusi  said: “ASUU Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko Branch, wishes to dissociate itself 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 pull 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.”

The Registrar in his statement entitled: ‘Resumption for the  2nd semester  2012/2013 session’ directed  all the students of university to resume.

“All the students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, are hereby informed that academic activities of the second semester of 2012/2013 session truncated as a result of the ASUU national strike are to resume on Monday, 25th November, 2013 with the continuation of registration on the University portal (http://portal.aaua.edu.ng).

“Lectures are to start on Monday, 2nd December, 2013

It will be recalled that the Vice Chancellor of the University Prof. Femi Mimiko had about a month ago expressed worries over the continued closure of the university by Ondo State.

Prof. Mimiko threatened that he would recall the students if the four month old strike action was not suspended.
