The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,has asked its members in the institutions where post-UME examinations were conducted during the ongoing strike, to reject the results and admission of candidates.
This information was passed across in Strike Bulletins five and three, which was signed by its National President, Dr. Nasir Isa.
In the bulletin, the Union recommended that members who took part in the exercise, should be queried and reported to the National Strike Coordinating Committee.
The bulletin read in part: “Members are hereby
mandated immediately to query members who
have broken the ongoing strike by participating
in post-UTME screening, attendance of meetings
including Council meeting, retreat of Governing
Council in Abuja etc. A copy of the query should
be sent to NSCC.
“Our union insists that post-UTME screening is,
for all intents and purposes an examination.
Our members through senate must reject
admission of students with such examinations
that have not been appropriately supervised by
academics.”
ASUU also took a shot at the National Universities Commission, accusing it of threatening Vice-Chancellors of Universities with accreditation, while the strike is on.
“Prevail on our VCs to resist the antics and
gimmicks of the NUC Secretary. Do not be used
to embark on any sham accreditation during
the period of the national strike. Our union will
do everything possible to nullify and such
accreditation conducted within the period of
the strike,” he continued.
“NUC has recently made essentially false
publications meant to distort the goal of our
strike, and has organised sham accreditation
visits to the University of Abuja. Our Union has
condemned the damaging role of NUC in the
university system and has resolved to expose
the dramatis personae in the persistence of
unpatriotic dispositions at play.”
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
