ASUU DISSOCIATES ITSELF FROM ACTIVITIES OF PROFESSORS/LECTURES WHO RIG ELECTION. (PHOTO).

ASUU Dissociates Itself From Activities Of Professors/ Lecturers Who Rig Election ASUU has since dissociated itself from being part of the activities of professors or lecturers being used by INEC in national elections. Any professor or lecturer doing any work for INEC is doing that as a person and has nothing to do with ASUU as a union. ASUU before used to send its members to INEC for participation in monitoring the election process or to serve as returning officers at various levels of the elections process but since it noticed that these members turn out to be vultures and scavengers in those elections it has since ceased from doing that because this is not the first or second time such manifestations are witnessed. The vulture professors are on their own and not in the name of ASUU in those elections. Secondly ASUU itself as a union is struggling to survive. ASUU is almost non existent in some universities. Some Vice Chancellors prefer running their universities without ASUU to ASUU

Ngige said, “The policy is not smooth in its implementation. I admitted that. But whether it is a good policy? Yes, it is a good policy. “It wasn’t smooth; it came with some pain but overall, did we get some sound benefits from it?
