2 Min Read

The Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called on its members to ignore a directive from the Registrar of the University calling for the resumption of academic activities in the school.

The Registrar of the university, R.B. Olotu had asked the students to resume on November 25th for the second semester of the 2012/2013 session.

The statement read, “All 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.”

It also stated that classes would resume on the 2nd of December.

However the ASUU chapter at the school said it would not forego the “struggle”, until the National Executive Council officially called off the strike.

ASUU chapter chairman, Busuyi 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.”
