The Academic Staff Union of Universities in Ambrose Alli University,
Ekpoma, Edo state, western Nigeria said the Rivers state governor,
Rotimi Amaechi should be held responsible for the disruption in academic
activities in Nigeria’s universities.
Chairman of the ASUU
chapter in the university, Professor Fred Esumeh, said ASUU members
nationwide would embark on one-day strike on 30 August, in solidarity
with their counterparts in Rivers State University of Science and
Technology (RSUST)
“The one-day strike is in solidarity with our
colleagues at RSUST, who are pressing for a reversal of the uncivilised
and arbitrary manner in which the university is being governed,
“according to a statement that he issued.
At the centre of the
crisis ravaging the university, is the acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. B
B. Fakae, whose appointment has continued to generate widespread
criticisms.
“ASUU says it beats human logic that a man, who was
smuggled into the system in the first place could still be re-appointed
by the visitor to continue in office in acting capacity at the
expiration of a four- year term,’’ the statement said.It said that ASUU
views the re-appointment of the embattled vice chancellor as
`unacceptable and direct invitation to anarchy and legally
indefensible.’
The statement criticized Amaechi for his role in
the unfolding` illegality at RSUST.
