The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected the new university governing councils approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The union’s national president, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, expressed disappointment with the composition of the list, which he claims is dominated by “retired politicians” rather than technocrats. This move is seen as a significant setback for the nation’s universities, which have been plagued by poor management and underfunding.
The rejection of the new governing councils by ASUU is a major blow to the nation’s universities, which have been struggling with poor management and underfunding. The appointment of retired politicians to key positions in the education sector is seen as a perpetuation of the status quo, rather than a genuine attempt to reform the sector. ASUU’s demands for technocrats to be appointed to governing councils have fallen on deaf ears, sparking concerns about the future of Nigeria’s universities and the quality of education they provide.
ASUU Slams Appointment of Retired Politicians
Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, the national president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has expressed his disappointment and dismay at the composition of the new university governing councils approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He lamented that the new list is “worse than the previous one”, questioning the logic behind appointing retired politicians to governing councils. Osodeke emphasized that genuine development and progress in the nation’s universities cannot be achieved through such appointments.
ASUU has consistently argued that the Federal Government’s actions are illegal, as the old councils were dissolved without completing their tenures, contrary to the University Act. The union has slammed the appointment of retired politicians to governing councils, stating that it perpetuates the trend of poor management and underfunding in the nation’s universities. Osodeke’s comments highlight the ongoing impasse between ASUU and the Federal Government, which has sparked concerns about the future of Nigeria’s universities and the quality of education they provide.
Illegal Constitution of University Councils
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has consistently maintained that the constitution of new university governing councils is illegal. The union argues that the old councils were dissolved without completing their tenures, which violates the University Act that governs the constitution of university governing councils. This move has sparked concerns about the future of Nigeria’s universities, which have been plagued by poor management and underfunding.
ASUU’s contention that the Federal Government’s actions are illegal has raised questions about the government’s commitment to upholding the law and ensuring good governance in the nation’s universities. The University Act is clear on the constitution of university governing councils, and the union’s argument that this has been violated has sparked fears about the implications for the future of Nigeria’s universities. The ongoing impasse between ASUU and the Federal Government has highlighted the need for a urgent resolution to ensure the nation’s universities are managed in accordance with the law.
President Tinubu’s Approval Under Fire
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of the new governing councils has come under fire from ASUU. The union has criticized the President’s decision, stating that it perpetuates the trend of appointing politicians rather than technocrats to key positions in the education sector. This move has sparked concerns about the government’s commitment to genuine development in the education sector.
ASUU Demands Technocrats on Governing Councils
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reiterated its demand for technocrats to be appointed to university governing councils, rather than politicians. The union believes that this is essential for genuine development to take place in the nation’s universities, which have been plagued by poor management and underfunding. ASUU argues that technocrats with expertise in education and management are better equipped to govern universities effectively, rather than politicians who may prioritize political interests over academic excellence.
Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, Academic Staff Union of Universities’s national president, emphasized that Nigeria cannot manage its universities effectively by appointing politicians to key positions and expecting real development to happen. He stressed that the nation’s universities need technocrats who understand the complexities of university management and can provide the necessary leadership to drive academic excellence. ASUU’s demand for technocrats on governing councils is seen as a crucial step towards ensuring the nation’s universities are managed effectively, and can provide quality education to students.
