The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has reacted
to the recent registration of two new trade unions by the government for
academic staff in the university system, saying it does not pose any threat to
its existence.
The National President of ASUU, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, was
reported to have disclosed this to Vanguard while reacting to the news of
government’s registration of new unions.
Osodeke said that it is inconsequential as his union cannot
be threatened with the development.
“That does not in any way affect us. We are a disciplined
and focused union and we know what we are doing and what we are after. Let them
register as many unions as they like. The sky is big enough for birds to fly”.
He further claimed that ASUU members are not saboteurs or
bootlickers, adding that its members know their vision and mission.
While affirming that ASUU’s struggle is for a better
educational system in the country, the University don claimed that if the
system is good, everyone will benefit.
