Just few days after the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, suspended its 5-month old
strike, the University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN,
has been shut down indefinitely by the
institution’s workers, Daily Post reports.
The UNN students divided themselves into 11
groups and marched through the major streets
of the Enugu metropolis, displaying various
placards. Some of the placards read, “Recall
Enejere now or we would burn down UNN”, and
“You gave us a fraudulent man like Salisu Buhari
as UNN board member, and you have now
sacked a honest man like Enejere”. Others read,
“FG, stop all these vengeful policies”, “It is
Enejere or no school”, among other statements.
During the serious protest in the University on
Wednesday, all the workers union demanded the
immediate sack of the Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Bartho Okolo.
Reprts reveal that it was the largest
demonstration of members of staff of the
University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN, since the
university was founded. Academic and non-
academic workers of both campuses converged
on the campus in a spontaneous peaceful
demonstration to demand the reinstatement of
the Chairman of the Governing Council, Prof
Emeka Enejere, who was said to have been
suspended. They chanted songs saying it was the
Vice Chancellor, Prof Bartho Okolo, instead, who
should be sacked. After marching for half of the
day and some members of staff addressed the
press at the Freedom Square, they however,
dispersed, promising to return for daily
demonstrations until the Council Chairman was
reinstated and other ills of the university which
they alleged originated by Prof Okolo were
corrected.
A professor told newsmen that “the Federal
Government would have to choose between only
one man (Okolo) or working with all of us.” It has
been gathered that Okolo is accused of corrupt
practices and neglect of due process in running
the affairs of the university. The students warned
that if the government failed to rescind its
decision and recall Enejere, they would embark
on an indefinite strike and boycott classes from
January 2014. One of them said, “We have
thought deep and investigated and we see no
reason why the Federal Government sacked Dr.
Enejere. If they don’t change their mind and
cancel the suspension order, we would make
UNN uncomfortable.”
