Kogi Govt Sacks Kogi University ASUU Begins Replacement of
Striking Lecturers
Following the proscribing of all the activities of
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the Kogi State University chapter
by the state government, the management of the university has invited suitable
candidates to fill positions left vacant by the academic staff of the
university.
A lecturer who pleaded anonymity confirmed to journalists at the weekend that the state government opted for their replacement
after the July 24, 2017, deadline given to them for their resumption by the
state Governor Yahaya Bello elapsed.
The lecturer said the recruitment exercise was
expected to cut across all the seven faculties in the university-Agriculture,
Arts and Humanities, Education, Law, Management Sciences, Natural Sciences,
Social Sciences and College of Health Sciences.
He noted that the university has been on strike
since February 3, 2017. The governor had, after an emergency meeting with the
State Executive Council in Lokoja on July 19, proscribed the Kogi State
University ASUU.
Bello had said: “In effect, the Governing Council and
management of the university as well as the management of the ministry of
education are hereby directed to immediately start the process of employing all
categories of academic staff.
“Accordingly the
state government hereby makes the proclamation and declares all activities of
ASUU in KSU from July 19, 2017, proscribed.”
