ASUU QUERIES 4 ESUT PROFESSORS FOR ALLEGED SABOTAGE

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has queried four
professors of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology
(ESUT) for sabotaging its ongoing nationwide strike.
Prof. Agu G. Agu, the Chairman of ASUU at the ESUT, informed about it...

while briefing the journalists in Enugu on November 18, 2013, Monday.
ASUU-ESUT leader stated that the lecturers had a very successful
congress with almost half the population of its members present, and
they made it very clear that they still stand by the resolutions of
the ASUU national executive on the strike.
On the purported resumption of academic activities in ESUT, Prof. Agu
revealed that some of the lecturers met with the management and sold
the idea that they were representing ASUU and that was what caused the
problem.
"We are in a meeting with the management and we have refuted that
because we do not know them. We did not give them the mandate and
everybody seems to be concerned about such a development and we have
taken the necessary steps by issuing them with a query.
"Four professors are involved and we have issued them with queries and
when they reply, we know the next action to take. We are forwarding
the query to ASUU national, so that next time people should not
arrogate to themselves what is not their duty. Nobody sent them. They
don't have the mandate of ASUU," Prof. Agu stated.
ASUU-ESUT leader further noted that the actions of saboteur professors
was even very painful, seeing that it came after the death an
illustrious fellow academic, Prof. Festus Iyayi, who died in the
struggle.
