Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on
Thursday passed a vote of confidence on the executive members of the
University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, chapter executives led by Dr.
Ifeanyichukwu Abada.
A factional group led by one Adibe Agbo had last week announced the purported suspension of Abada alongside members of his exco.
However, at a special congress held at the UNN, which was attended by
the coordinator of the union in Nsukka zone, Dr. Chidi Osuagwu, the
members threw their support behind Abada’s leadership, describing Agbo
and his group as “rebellious and illegal”.
ASUU-Nsukka zone is made up of the UNN, Enugu State University of
Science and Technology, ESUTH, Ebonyi State University, EBSU, Nnamdi
Azikiwe University, NAU, Anambra State University and Abia State
University.
The members, who attended the congress in their numbers, therefore,
unanimously commended Abada and his exco for their doggedness towards
pursuing the collective interest of the members.
There was drama at the congress as two of the purported executive
members of the factional ASUU said they were not part of any congress
where Abada and his exco members were suspended.
One of them, Engineer Austin Omah told the congress that “I was not even
in the
campus the day the purported congress was held. It was at a
wedding ceremony that somebody told me congratulations on my election as
welfare officer of ASUU. I was not part of any congress, and I hereby
dissociate myself from that group”.
Similarly, another member, Ifeoma Nzekwe, who was named financial
secretary also disowned the new ASUU, lamenting that she never took part
in any congress.
Addressing members of the union, Osuagwa described Agbo’s action as “a declaration of war on ASUU”.
He warned that the ASUU would not hesitate to deal with all those involved in the factional union.
“I want to address this issue which borders on using the name ASUU; it
sounds ridiculous for anybody anywhere to call himself ASUU leader in
UNN; it is a war declared on ASUU.
“If any member is aggrieved, let him resort to the constitution, once
you take a unilateral action, you have challenged the union.
“Once your action is not covered by this code of practice, your action is not just illegal but spiritually condemnable.
“The only recognized executive is the one elected by you, led by
Ifeanyichukwu Abada; whatever anybody has done is null and void”,
Osuagwu stressed.
Meanwhile, the ASUU members have vowed to continue their protest, stressing that there was no going back on their demands.
Under the Joint Action Committee, JAC, made up of ASUU, NASU, SSANU and
NAAT, they listed the demands to include “the reinstatement of the
suspended pro-chancellor, Dr. Emeka Enejere, suspension of the Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Bartho Okolo, setting up of a judiciary panel of
inquiry by the federal government in UNN and immediate stop to illegal
internet deductions and refund of such money to staff”.
They are equally demanding for the immediate recall of all staff
suspended for the past one or two years, lifting of ban on non-promotion
of security staff for the past five years, immediate suspension of
impact factor clause, implementation of CONTISS II for the staff of
University Staff Primary School, among others.
