ASUU President Dismisses Varsities Who Defy Ongoing Strike As “Quacks” And “Irrelevant”

Professor Osodeke, the President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, has stated that the various universities who resumed activities despite the ongoing ASUU strike action are “irrelevant” and “quacks”.

The union’s president, Osodeke made the comment live in an interview with the newsmen.

The union leader who cited some state universities said “Kwara State University is not a member of ASUU, they’ve not joined, you can check. Osun State University was suspended from ASUU for misbehaviour, you can check. In LASU that you mentioned, we are in court with LASU because they sacked all our executives more than five years ago, so they were not part of this struggle.

“Ekiti State University… ASUU don’t run a University, the government have a right to say we have reopened, our members have the right to say that’s good for you, we are not teaching, we are on strike as it happened in Gombe State University, as it happened in Yobe State University, you can go and check as it happened in Kaduna State University so don’t cite those examples, they are irrelevant.”

He furthered that “Talk about the issue, is Ibadan on strike, is UNN on strike, is ABU on strike, is BUK on strike, is Maiduguri on strike, is Lagos on strike, Let us talk about the important ones not those quacks.” He said

Recall that ASUU has been on strike since the 14th of February, 2022 over federal government to meet union’s demand.
