The Educational Workers Union of Universities ASUU has expressed fear over the incessant victimization, intimidation, harassment and dehumanization of its members in public universities within the nation.
This was contained in an announcement signed by ASUU Zonal Coordinator, Professor Abdulkadir Muhammad and issued to newsmen.
In accordance with the assertion, “The victimization is especially perpetrated by the college administrations with tacit and, at occasions, open endorsement of the Chairmen of the Governing Councils and Guests of the affected universities”
“The obnoxious, unjust and callous victimization and degradation of our members are extra pronounced in Kogi State College, KSU, Anyingba; Lagos State College, LASU, Ojoo; and Ebonyi State College, EBSU, Abakaliki”.
“Others are on the Ambrose Alli College, AAU, Ekpoma; Federal College of Know-how Owerri, FUTO and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu College, COOU, Igbariam.
Within the Kogi State College, KSU, 120 members of ASUU have been unjustly dismissed for over seven years now, largely for demanding conducive working circumstances, higher welfare package deal, cost of backlog of salaries and allowances and ample funding of the college”
Prof Muhammad defined that the affected members sought authorized redress and sadly the courtroom dominated towards the victims and in favour of the College.
The Zonal Coordinator has now known as on the respective college administrations, Governing Councils and the Guests of the affected universities to respect the college legal guidelines, respect freedom of meeting and affiliation, and finish the victimization of harmless intellectuals and their households.
