The university’s Vice-Chancellor, Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, a professor, said academic and administrative activities will continue undeterred on its campuses despite the position taken by the union. “Some people said they have declared a strike but all of us with the management have decided that our normal activities in the university must go on. Our examination is going on, senate meetings will continue, everything we do as a university will continue, and our calendar will not be disrupted by the grace of God, any longer.
In justifying the strike action, Mr Ugoh accused the university management of taking decisions specifically reserved for the governing council even when there is none. He said the advertisement for the position of vice-chancellor to succeed the incumbent, Mr Na’Allah, is illegal, insisting that it negates the Establishment Act of the university. He also accused the university management of recruiting and promoting staff without following due process.
Speaking to the election of deans and establishment of microfinance bank, he noted that the elections timetable had long been publicised and that four elections of deans had been conducted so far.
