The Governor also suspended the current ASUU Chairman, Prof Ndubuisi Idenyi and his predecessor, Prof. Emeka Nwakpu over what he described as gross misconduct on their own part.

He appealed to the striking lecturer to call off the strike as the State government was prepared to ensure the restructuring of the entire University system in the state. “I hereby suspend all the check up dues and deductions being collected by the Union. The present ASUU leadership in place has expired. The ASUU in place is illegal and will not discuss with them. Hmmmm. Just hmmm
