ASUU orders members in Universities to reject Post-UTME results, candidates

The Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, has asked its members in the
institutions where post-UME examinations
were conducted during the ongoing strike, to
reject the results and admission of candidates.
This information was passed across in Strike
Bulletins five and three, which was signed by
its National President, Dr. Nasir Isa.
In the bulletin, the Union recommended that
members who took part in the exercise, should
be queried and reported to the National Strike
Coordinating Committee.
The bulletin read in part: “Members are hereby
mandated immediately to query members who
have broken the ongoing strike by participating
in post-UTME screening, attendance of
meetings including Council meeting, retreat of
Governing Council in Abuja etc. A copy of the
query should be sent to NSCC.
“Our union insists that post-UTME screening is,
for all intents and purposes an examination.
Our members through senate must reject
admission of students with such examinations
that have not been appropriately supervised by
academics.”
ASUU also took a shot at the National
Universities Commission, accusing it of
threatening Vice-Chancellors of Universities
with accreditation, while the strike is on.
“Prevail on our VCs to resist the antics and
gimmicks of the NUC Secretary. Do not be
used to embark on any sham accreditation
during the period of the national strike. Our
union will do everything possible to nullify and
such accreditation conducted within the period
of the strike,” he continued.
“NUC has recently made essentially false
publications meant to distort the goal of our
strike, and has organised sham accreditation
visits to the University of Abuja. Our Union
has condemned the damaging role of NUC in
the university system and has resolved to
expose the dramatis personae in the
persistence of unpatriotic dispositions at play.”
