As the demand for the immediate removal of the Vice Chancellor,
University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Bartho Okolo, and reinstatement
of the pro-chancellor, Dr. Emeka Enejere, gets messier, the Joint
Action Committee of the institution has called on the Federal Government
to set up panel of inquiry to look into the crisis in the university.
ASUU chairperson and chairman of JAC, University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
chapter, Dr. Ifeanyi Abada, announced this in a prayer rally held at the
freedom square of the university yesterday, explaining that illegality
and criminal tendencies had taken the centre stage of the university
administration since the inception of Prof. Bartho Okolo as the vice
chancellor.
Dr. Abada said JAC comprises ASUU, SSANU, NASU and NAT, adding that they
all demanded the express removal of the vice chancellor.
He said the Federal Government should as a matter of urgency and
necessity set up a panel of inquiry to stop the illegal internal
deduction and refund such money to members of staff.
The JAC chairman explained that they were not only protesting the
removal of the vice chancellor but also demanded the immediate recall of
all staff of the institution on suspension for the past two years on
the orders of the vice chancellor, explaining that the committee also
demanded a total stoppage of deductions of electricity bills for staff
on campus.
Counting the many faults of Prof. Okolo as vice chancellor of the
university, the
committee requested for the lifting of ban on
non-promotion of security staff of the institution for the past five
years.
Dr. Abada, who was in company of SSANU Chairman Comrade Paul Obododike
and his NASU counterpart, Mr. Godfrey Ugwu, called for the
implementation of Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure,
CONTISS II, and implementation of the recommendations of the university
council petitions and appeals committee.
Dr. Abada also noted that the prayer rally of JAC would continue until the Federal Government looked into the demands.
