Strike: Students should ‘take ASUU to court’ – AdamuThe Minister of Education Adamu Adamu has said it is the responsibility of the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) to compensate students for the time wasted during the six-month strike, not the Federal Government.Adamu said this on Thursday at the 47th Session of the State House Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.He also said the government will not concede to the union’s demand to pay lecturers their emoluments for the six months of no academic activities.
Dapo Abiodun sent out of Tinubu’s Meeting with ObasanjoThe Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, on Wednesday was sent out of a meeting in former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s home, NigerianEcho has learnt. Abiodun who had accompanied the Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Obasanjo’s home was asked to leave the venue of the meeting. Tinubu was in Abeokuta to meet with Obasanjo. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, former Governors; Gbenga Daniel, Olusegun Osoba and Bisi Akande also accompanied Tinubu to the meeting. Obasanjo who received the team later demanded that some people should leave the room as the meeting was about to begin. A source at the meeting informed NigerianEcho that when others were going out; Abiodun, who is the Chief Security officer of the State, was still on seat when Obasanjo told him to stand up as he was not part of the meeting. A bewildered Abiodun could not say a word but quietly left the room.. Even the guest, Tinubu, could not make a case for him to be at the meeting. However, former Governor Olusegun Osoba was part of the meeting as well as Gbajabiamila and Olubara of Ibara, Oba Omolade who is a close friend of Obasanjo. Governor Abiodun had to wait outside for three hours while the meeting lasted. He was visibly angry and made attempts to leave Obasanjo’s house. He was prevailed upon by his former Chief of Staff, Shuaib Salis, who is the Senatorial candidate of the APC in Ogun Central. He was made to realise that it was against protocol to leave. NigerianEcho reliably gathered that Abiodun was excused from the strategic meeting because he was part of the issues that were discussed. Governor Abiodun has been having issues with various sectors of the society including the Civil Servants and the traditional institution as well as the political class. Ogun State APC had not known peace since 2018. Some people who were denied tickets in the run off to 2019 elections left for another party; Allied People’s Movement, APM. These people who are loyal to the former Governor Amosun later went back to APC but still peace didn’t return. It was reported that the National Working Committee of the party waded in and proposed a sharing formula for the two camps. Governor Abiodun however rebuffed the intervention and insisted that Amosun and his team should be expelled from the party. Speaking on the matter, Tolu Odebiyi, Senator representing Ogun West said Abiodun is a rigid man who sees the party in the state as his property. He mentioned that all appeals for unity by leaders were ignored by the Governor. Tunde Oladunjoye, the State Publicity Secretary of the party however lampooned Odebiyi saying he was not fit to be a representative of the people. He accused Odebiyi of being economical with the truth. He said Abiodun was a man of peace who had brought development to the State. The crisis took a new dimension recently when Amosun told press men that Abiodun should be voted out. Former Governor Olusegun Osoba, at the 50th anniversary of Abeokuta Club, had alleged that ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo rigged him out of office in 2003 and that Amosun was in cahoots. Amosun while responding to this allegation said he was not aware of the issue raised by Osoba. Amosun however told the gathering that the current Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, was a product of rigging in 2019. He added that those who perpetrated the act had apologised and he has forgiven them. The Governor is also not having it easy with some Obas in the State. Abiodun’s government had taken seventy five Obas that were installed towards the end of the last administration to Court. His predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, installed 75 Obas towards the end of his administration but Abiodun has been having a protracted issue with them. The Obas approached the Court and won at the High Court. The Government also lost at the Appeal Court when it sought for a stay of execution which was not granted. Abiodun has now sent emissaries to those Obas so that they can support his reelection bid. NigerianEcho learnt that the meeting with the Obas was held at the Palace of Olu Itori, Oba Akamo while former Commissioner of Local and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Jide Ojuko represented the Governor.

PRESS RELEASEEKSU NOT A QUACK UNIVERSITY: ASUU PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT, RECKLESS26th August, 2022The attention of the Management of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti (EKSU) has been drawn to the interview granted the Arise Television by the National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Osodeke where he mentioned some state-owned universities in Nigeria as quacks and irrelevant. In the same press interview with Dr. Reuben Abati, he listed some first generation universities as the ones that matter most in the ongoing struggle by ASUU.The Management of EKSU views this denigrating remark about some universities, coming from the National President of ASUU as unfortunate, reckless and unwarranted.Ekiti State University, Ado- Ekiti is currently the 14th best university in Nigeria out of about 200 universities (Federal, State & Private) and the 2nd best State University according to the recent Webometric ranking of universities.Apart from the above, the university (EKSU) has nearly all its academic programmes accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and relevant professional regulatory bodies. The university is proud to have many top rated globally recognised academics, and its alumni are making waves both Nationally and Internationally. By the grace of God, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji , the Governor-elect of Ekiti State is an alumnus and a former lecturer in the University. Even in ASUU, a number of staff of our university had served and still serving in various capacities at zonal and national levels including but not limited to Professor Afolabi Popoola, Dr. Sikiru Eniola, Profs. Eddy Olanipekun, Ayan Adeleke and Olu-Olu Olufayo.Therefore, categorizing EKSU as among the quack and irrelevant universities is a testimony to the fact that the ASUU President is probably uninformed and/or is bereft of ideas. This arrant nonsense coming from Comrade Osodeke is totally unacceptable and condemnable.The Management calls on Professor Osodeke to toe the path of honour by retracting the provocative remark and tender an unreserved apology without further delay.Bode Olofinmuagun,Head, Directorate of Information & Corporate Affairs.EKITI STATE UNIVERSITY,ADO – EKITI.Directorate of Information & Corporate Affairs.
