The zonal chairman, Dr Aniekan Brown, while addressing journalists in Uyo, said for most state universities to be competitive, governors should stop playing politics with their establishment, and should do such in line with laid down laws as recorded in the Universities Miscellaneous Provision Amendment Act of 2012.
“In Ebonyi State University, there is no Chancellor and government is yet to constitute a new council since it was dissolved in November 2020. At the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, the vice chancellor, has acted for 15 months. Currently, the autonomy of Kaduna State University is under intense threat, as it is placed under supervision of both the state ministry of finance despite the existence of council.
ASUU also expressed concern over funding of state universities, alleging that some governors now rely on TETFUND and sometimes divert such money to establish new institutions. “In some instances, governors divert allocation meant for existing institutions from TETFUND to establish their politically motivated universities. The inadequacy or absence of funding for capital projects has overtly manifested in the dearth of well-equipped workshop, libraries, studios, classrooms, hostels, utilities and municipal services.”
