Joint Action Committee of the institution had been deployed to monitor members.
According to Nwangwu, “The monitoring team has been
set up to monitor the activities of members, and anybody who misbehaves would
be severely dealt with.
“From tomorrow (today), no staff of these three
unions is to be seen in these campus, unless that person wants to challenge his
or her ‘chi’ in this circumstance.
“We will wait for further directives from our
national leaders, and we are not going back on the decision.”

university at Igbariam, Uli in Ihiala council area and the teaching hospital at
