According to Daily Post News, ASUU issued the warning through a statement made available to pressmen by its Zonal Coordinator, Dr. Ade Adejumo, at the end of the zonal meeting held at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso on Monday.
“Prof. Popoola was alleged of compelling members to break the strike and attempting to completely eradicate ASUU in UNIOSUN through the following anti-union activities and hostile administrative policies among others.
“Compelling members to attend management, senate, principal officers and other statutory meetings during strike and holding the 7th convocation ceremony of the University between Monday 19th to Thursday 22nd of November, 2018 without any waiver from ASUU. Implementation of the obnoxious ‘No work no pay’ rule in UNIOSUN even when the NUC had directed all Vive-Chancellors and Councils to stay action.
“Stoppage of deduction of the monthly check- off dues from salaries of our members to the coffers of ASUU. Issuance of the threat circulars to members, who are currently on lawful strike to commence uploading of the results of the 2017/18 harmattan and rain semesters on the university’s RPMS.
“The zonal body of the union, however, commended the branch officers and the entire members of ASUU-UNIOSUN for their resolve to fight for truth and justice towards ensuring that university education is adequately funded in Nigeria.
“No reasonable university administrator would force ASUU members to break this strike because dividends of such struggles have always ended up on the table of Vice-Chancellors; any attempt to strangulate the hen that lays the golden eggs is therefore hypocritical,” Adejumo said.
Adejumo further urged Popoola not to implement policies that are antithetical to the ASUU struggle.
“Vice-Chancellors, Prof. Popoola inclusive are members of ASUU and should not been seen to implement policies that are antithetical to the ASUU struggle,” Adejumo added.
