The Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions (ASURI) has protested against plans by the Federal government to extend the tenure of the Director

“Now we assume that the FG made a mistake, we are now saying 4 years has passed his tenure has elapsed, Nigeria could not benefit from research that is supposed to come out from NISER. We are saying please remove him.“This country is bleeding because successive government has neglected research and it is our responsibility as a union to draw the attention of government that you have makde mistake.

While reacting, The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, urged the protesting workers to maintain calm as one year is not much a time She however urged the union to work closely with the Federal government to ensure that such mistake of appointing such persons is not repeated in the future.

She said, “I don’t want the same mistake to happen again, thats what we need to avoid. One year, before you know is gone. Maybe you are not seeing the CV that we saw and it is based on that that we advised the President and he approved. So, let’s work together and start a new process, give ourselves time and this time, it is not a matter of who has the highest qualification or who has the highest experience.

“Find out the major issues and prioritize them, address them and limit ourselves to making sure that whatever we are doing is to get results within this one year. One person doesn’t run an organisation. He is the CEO, fine. But there is a management, there are professors. Should he not have results? Even if one person has deficiency from what you said, but I don’t really believe that because I saw his CV befire his appointment and his CV showed research experience.
