Osun State University, UNIOSUN set to join ASUU strike

Dr Wende Olaosebikan, Acting Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Osun State University (UniOsun), on Monday, said that the university would soon join the nationwide ASUU strike.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo, Olaosebikan explained that the suspension of the institution’s ASUU chapter by the national body was what had prevented its members from joining the nationwide strike.

He said that the chapter, however, was working on its reinstatement and would join the strike immediately the suspension was lifted.

“Currently, Uniosun is not on strike. The reason is that we are currently on suspension by the national body

ASUU has a set of disciplinary procedures. In 2020, some members of ASUU Uniosun broke ASUU strike which led to the suspension of the branch by the National Executive Council of ASUU.

“We are still processing our application for reinstatement and as soon as that application succeeds, we are definitely going to join the national strike,’’ he said.

The acting chairman said the demands and agitation of ASUU affected all its members.
