The Academic Staff Union of Universities has accused the Federal and State Governments of proliferation of universities in the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the town hall meeting was organised by the University of Jos chapter of the union.According the president, the federal and state governments were establishing universities without adequately funding them, adding that some of the universities established were needless.
“What we see today is that state governments have turned the establishment of universities to constituency project; every governor wants to have a university in his constituency. “So, what ASUU is really fighting for is to stop the total collapse. Our demands are not selfishly motivated,” he said.
