From Femi Oyelola,Kaduna.
The Kano zonal coordinator of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr Rabiu Nasiru has called on the visitor of Lagos state University (LASU), Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola to investigate the excesses of the Vice Chancellor, Professor John Oladapo Bafunwa, who the union accused of mischief and deliberate attempt to plunge the institution into serious, though avoidable, crisis and call him to order..
The Union stated this in a statement signed by Dr. Rabiu and made available to the media in kaduna yesterday, accused the Vice Chancellor of highhandedness, impunity, belligerence, unscholarly and unpopular policies that have continued to constitute serious threat to scholarship and industrial harmony in the university.
“The attempt of the Vice Chancellor to unwittingly withdraw the Ph.D certificate ASUU LASU branch chairperson, which the Vice Chancellor does not have himself, clearly portrays his mundane sentimental posture in administering of the university and his strong animosity for a degree which he does not know how difficult it is to obtain”, Dr Nasiru revealed.
The zonal coordinator said ASUU views the lingering crisis in the university which the Vice Chancellor has mischievously caused by engaging in abusing promotion procedures in other to favour his cronies in complete disregard to academic culture and standards, as deliberate attempts to sabotage the hard earned credit the visitor has toiled to achieve and would want to leave as a legacy in the university.
