ASUU,Professor Olu Obafemi,University Of Jos

Professor Olu Obafemi, is one of our country’s pivotal scholars and writers of very deep thoughts and value.

He is without question one of our foremost senior professors of theoretical and practical aesthetics who has dwelt and written on almost every subject, but his central subject is humanity.

State funding was a guarantor of fairness. But markets in education, left to themselves, would reproduce inequalities of wealth and social capital… Some pay the supreme sacrifice for these ideals to be achieved, and for which society immortalises them, if those societies have a heroic culture, that is societies where most people fight for human ideals. Some heroes succeed and live on, and thus become venerated and revered. They then serve on as lifetime inspiration as their societies grow. ‘The German Marxian playwright, Bertolt Brecht, dwelt on the question of Heroism in his play, “The Life of Galileo”.

Issues of inadequate welfare catering for staff and students, resource input, infrastructure, research, are all products of poor funding by the Federal government. And the struggle to make government right these wrongs has been the cause of incessant strikes by staff, especially ASUU and, to some extent, the other university-based unions.

Raymond Nwachukwu, a civil servant who lives in the Ijaiye area of Lagos State and commutes over many kilometers to and from work in Lekki, claims that his biggest problem is getting sleep.The Nigerian Premier Football League has provided an opportunity for Heartland of Owerri to fight to save their season by lifting the ban, albeit provisionally, on Dan Anyiam Stadium.
