NLC Strike: Governor El-Rufai Is
Ignorant And Arrogant – ASUU
The Academic Staff Union of
Universities has lashed out at the Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai,
calling him ignorant and arrogant.
This comes after El-Rufai threatened
that lecturers of the state university, who join the ongoing workers’ strike in
the state should be dismissed.
The Chairman of ASUU, University of
Port Harcourt branch, Dr Austen Sado, described the governor’s recent actions
in connection with the ongoing workers’ strike in Kaduna as a display of
ignorance and arrogance.
Sado, in a telephone interview with
our correspondent, expressed surprise that the governor could declare the
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, wanted for alleged
economic sabotage.
On the threat to sack lecturers of
the Kaduna State University, the UNIPORT ASUU chairman pointed out that it was
wrong for governors to interfere in matters concerning university staff
discipline.
According to him, the university is
being administered by the Governing Council and the government cannot have
direct interference in its day-to-day administration.
