ASUU Raises Alarm Of Another Looming Crisis In Varsities
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Monday, warned Nigerians that if the Federal Government kept withholding their wages, a new crisis would break out in the country’s universities. The University of Ilorin, ASUU Chairman, Prof. Moyosore Ajao, raised the alarm at a special congress of the local branch held at the university’s main auditorium on Monday. The university lecturers had staged a solidarity rally within the University of Ilorin campus before returning to the auditorium, where they addressed journalists on ‘Casualisation of Intellectual Workers in Nigeria: Prelude to Our Response.’ The Secretary of the union, Dr. AbdulGaniyu Olatunji, while reading Ajao’s speech said Members of the public are hereby sensitized and put on notice again that a fresh crisis, which will surpass all previous ones is looming again in Nigerian universities as our members cannot and will not continue to do free work that will not be remunerated.
