Registrar of the state-owned university, R. B. Olotu in a statement
in Akure directed the students to resume on Monday, November 25 for the
second semester 2012/2013 session.
But in a swift reaction, the ASUU Chapter of the university
dissociated itself from the purported resumption of academic activities
in the university.
The Chapter’s chairperson, Busuyi Mekusi in a statement asked members to disregard the directive.
Mekusi said: “ASUU Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko Branch,
wishes to dissociate itself from the purported resumption of academic
activities in the university, as its members are still part of the
ongoing national strike by the union.
“Members should, therefore, disregard any pull to abandon the
struggle, and be steadfast until the present position is reviewed by
NEC.
“ The union also wants to make it abundantly clear that it would
resist every tyrannical propensity to intimidate and harass its
members.”
The Registrar in his statement entitled: ‘Resumption for the 2nd
semester 2012/2013 session’ directed all the students of university to
resume.
“All the students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo
State, are hereby informed that academic activities of the second
semester of 2012/2013 session truncated as a result of the ASUU national
strike are to resume on Monday, 25th November, 2013 with the
continuation of registration on the University portal
(http://portal.aaua.edu.ng).
“Lectures are to start on Monday, 2nd December, 2013
It will be recalled that the Vice Chancellor of the University Prof.
Femi Mimiko had about a month ago expressed worries over the continued
closure of the university by Ondo State.
Prof. Mimiko threatened that he would recall the students if the four month old strike action was not suspended.
Happy Resumption to all the Students
