ASUU: No Regret Stopping Gowon, Soyinka From Speaking At Uniabuja Event by sophsia62: 4:57am On Dec 13, 2018 |
The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Abuja chapter, Dr Kasim Umaru, has said the union has no regret for disrupting anti-corruption event in the institution. The New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the union led by Umaru prevented Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd), and former Education Minister, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili from speaking at the event. The ASUU Chairman told NAN in a telephone interview yesterday that the union disrupted the programme because of the ongoing strike. He said such magnitude of programme could not hold in the institution because lecturers were also involved in the event. “Those eminent personalities for the programme are all aware of our plight and did nothing; we disrupted the event because we are on strike,” he said. The convener of the event and National Coordinator of African Initiative Against Corruption and Exam Malpractice AFICEM, Dr Francis Abioye, regretted the action of the ASUU, saying they erred by disrupting the event. Abioye said the management of the university had earlier approved the institution’s auditorium as venue for the anti- corruption programme. He said the programme was not an academic event, but was organised to educate Nigerians, especially students against corruption and related cases. Abioye, who is also the General Manager, Zoology Garden in Owerri, Imo State, urged the federal government to fund education, saying that Nigeria could not progress without a stable educational system. In his remarks, the university Student Union Government (SUG), President, Mr. Chizurum Anabaronye, said the development was regrettable and disappointing. “It is unfortunate because students would have benefited immensely in the programme considering the personalities involved in the programme. “Wole Soyinka is a person every student wants to see and the only opportunity to hear him speak was disrupted; we mobilised the students for the event but later communicated to them on the development,” he said. One of the facilitators and Osun High Court Judge, Justice Oloyode Folahanmi, who also spoke to NAN, said AFICEM planned to celebrate the 2018 anti-corruption day with a lecture on the `Benefits of Examination Ethics,’ which was disrupted. “The Noble Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka, other eminent persons and myself were to speak to Nigerian students on the need to abide by the rules guiding examination ethics. “We are partners in progress; we feel the plight of ASUU and we want to fix Nigerian problem; so, it was wrong to disrupt the programme. While calling on federal government to address the demands of ASUU, Folahanmi said the reason for targeting students was because of the belief that quest for societal regeneration must begin with the youths. https://www.akelicious.net/2018/12/ASUU-no-regret-stopping-gowon-soyinka.html

So after 3 and half years we still have corruption in Nigeria?? I thought Buhari killed corruption!! These useless set of criminals still want to educate Nigerians on corruption. So till now Buhari has not killed the crazy man called corruption with all his endless wars against corruption. Thunder fire una dia.... Educated your children at home on corruption, Nigerians are tired of this nonsensical corruption fight. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Though a good move on the part of ASUU, but technically wrong. They should have at least respect the presence of Gowon and Soyinka . Not a good way to go |
Re: ASUU: No Regret Stopping Gowon, Soyinka From Speaking At Uniabuja Event by jesmond3945: 9:54am On Dec 13, 2018 |
Is only kids that think that ASUU is being selfish with their fight. If not for TETFUnd which is more like an institution funded by company tax Nigerian education would have been long dead many years ago. Infact tetfund singlehandedly still kept us to internationally. The only thing govt does is to subsidize education and pay salaries thats all. No development in the educational sector whatsoever. If government is not ready let them remove educational subsidy and let people pay for their full fees and then universities can run independently while tetfund provides the infrastructure. Students who cannot afford to pay high fees should seek for scholarship. 1 Like |

This is beautiful, they all have their children in good schools abroad so they don't care. If the government will not give ear Oby, what about pa Gowon and pa Soyinka? I expect them to be part of ASUU because of the student who still does nit believe that government and the rich are the ones destroying their future because their children well secured with government job waiting for them on graduation in the next five year and not ASUU. ASUU should continue to disrupt their irrelevant gatherings until the students future are secured. For ASUU members, they cant pay children children school fee, house rent and other things yet, government tell you no money but they have stolen enough for their private account and to buy peoples vote and to media houses to cook up figures for them. Shameless hypocrite leaders. Due respect to my grandfathers please. If only the professors and the lecturers can reject their election jobs, but no, is the immediate cash is what they are after rather than future. Not serious set of people, not to worry because they will continue to see you like the self made illiterates that you have all made yourselves. 1 Like |
