The Academic Staff Union of Universities of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo has resisted the appointment of Prof Adenike Oladiji as the new Vice Chancellor of the institution.

The statement read in part, “At the congress, we looked at the process; we are not talking about individuals. We found problems with the process at the very end of the procedure for the appointment of the VC when the council had to pick from the list of the three candidates submitted to it. Three nominees will be presented to the council in order of their positions. Under normal circumstances, the council should have picked the first because that is merit. There is no lobby about it.

“In case, the council will not select the first, it must give cogent reasons why the first must be jettisoned. If the second would also not be picked, there must be a set of reasons for settling for the third.” “But in this case, the council in its own wisdom decided to leave the first, second and the third, and opted for voting between the first and the second, thereby disenfranchising the third. By the law, any of the three candidates presented is good enough for the position of VC.

“If the council wanted to go for voting, we would have wanted to see the votes of the three. But we have a vote for two and zero recorded for the third and that is where we believe something played out here. If you are not picking the best for the university, there must be cogent reasons and we will not accept it until the governing council does what is needed.”

The statement added that the “council can reverse itself and tell everybody why number one is not acceptable and why they have to settle for number two. We have rejected the appointment of the individual who came second in that interview that was presented to the council. The congress of ASUU in their resolution rejected that appointment. The FUTA chapter of ASUU will not recognise that individual as VC and will never relate to it until every level of litigation has been completed.

I imagined how politicians kept quite on this development . And most of these people attended free Education in those days. But they are making life unbearable for the younger generation.

They haven't settled the strike issue; they have delved into a disparity of choices and preferences into things of lesser concern🤦‍♀️

Asuu and there never ending strike

ASUU Strike: A pandemic ravaging education sectorOPINION: Nigeria’s educational system has been on halt since February 14, 2022, when the union’s president declared the start of a four-week warning strike in an attempt to send a final warning to the federal government...
