The result
of the just concluded April 28th Presidential election is already spreading
ripples across the country.
Malabor
Watch gathered that on Wednesday 8 April, the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
UNICAL Chapter (ASUU – UCC) held a meeting, though other issues discussed at
the meeting still remains unclear to our sources, Malabor watch gathered that
among the main agenda in the meeting was deliberation on the Change of Government
from the steering of President Goodluck Ebele jonathan to that of former General
Muhammadu Buhari.
It can be
recalled that in 2014, ASUU embarked on a 6 months strike to press home their
demands for better funding for Universities and other benefits to University
lecturers, this was finally approved by President Jonathan, this has yielded
visible benefits and development across the University campus as Faculties,
lecture halls and other infrastructures have been undergoing renovations even
as new ones are springing up across the campus.
It has been
reported that the lecturers are scared that these “goodies” may cease to come
when General Muhammadu Buhari mounts the seat as President and reviews these terms. This prompted the
need for them to meet and deliberate. We just hope retired General Muhammadu
Buhari doesn’t stop the benefits coming to Universities; else, ASUU may welcome
him to “reality” with another 6 months strike… if not 12 months
