ASUU warns candidates on Post- UTME

The striking Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has warned that
successful candidates at the various 2013
post-UTME examinations to government
owned Universities may not be
recognised if offered admission from the
exercise.
The union also described as cheap
"political statement" the pronouncement
of Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue
State that the strike would be over on
Thursday, insisting that the strike would
only be suspended if government
implements all the components in the
2009 agreement and the 2012
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Disclosing these in Minna on Wednesday,
the Chairman of the Federal University of
Technology, Minna, ASUU chapter, Dr.
Abdulfatai Jimoh, said that none of its
members would be involved in the
conduct the post-UTME for over 3000
candidates slated for Friday and Saturday
in the institution.
Jimoh, who was briefing journalists on the
level of compliance by his members to
the industrial action, warned that "any
student admitted through the on-going
Post-UTME is on his or her own because
we would not recognise or teach such
student."
According to him, "if the management
goes ahead to conduct the post-UTME,
none of the lecturers who are members
of ASUU would not participate in the
exercise and the students if admitted
would not be recognized by the
lecturers."
