Vice Chancellors have been advised not to
adopt coercive and forceful strategies to get
lecturers to resume work.
Dr Busuyi Mekusi, Chairman of ASUU at
Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko
(AAUA), Ondo State, gave this advice in an
interview in Abuja on Tuesday.
``We are also pleading with the university
administrators not to illegally employ
impromptu lecturers.
``They should also not announce fake
resumption dates or disrupt the meetings of
ASUU members on campuses.
``Such measures will not abate the already
frosty relationship between the union,
government and the university authorities,”
he stressed.
He called for the convocation of
`institutional summit` as a way of starting
the take-off of a rebirth process for public
institutions in Nigeria to become more
effective.
He said social transformation would not
succeed unless the Federal Government was
strongly committed to entrenching strong
and independent public agencies.
``We must not continue to deceive
ourselves that governance, democracy and
politics will reach enviable heights with the
kind of public institutions in place.
``The truth of democracy as the expression
of the people’s will and aspirations will come
alive when Nigeria has public institutions
that have not been politicised,” he stressed.
