This came as ASUU also rejected recent sack of 150 members of Kogi State University, KSU, Ayungba ,calling on the State Government to reverse the action.
The Lagos Zonal Coordinator of the Union, Prof. Olusiji Sowande, who briefed journalists yesterday at the ASUU office in Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, said the zone was mandated by its national body to look into the crises at both LASU and KSU and come out with recommendations.
The Zonal coordinator briefed alongside other ASUU executives, such as Prof. Deji Agboola of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Dr John Fayemi of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, and Dr Dele Ashiru of University of Lagos.
Others were Dr Akinloye Oyewumi of Lagos State University and Dr Adebayo Oni of FUNAAB.
On LASU, Sowande claimed members were being hounded by the Vice-Chancellor for demanding for a functional budget monitoring committee, alleging that “our members incurred LASU management’s wrath because they asked for evidence of proper utilisation of the N1.3bn NEEDS Assessment Revitalisation fund released to the school in 2013.”
He also alleged that the members were being harassed for demanding for the implementation of Earned Academic Allowances components of the ASUU-FGN 2009 Agreement.
According to him: “ASUU, Lagos zone joins the Education Right Campaign in calling for an independent panel of inquiry on the unfolding crisis in LASU with a view to resolving it before the crisis becomes a monster that will be difficult to curtail. We call on governor of Lagos State ,Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to call some of his functionaries to order as there are evidences that they are working in tandem with Vice Chancellor of LASU and some members of the governing council to fuel the crisis in LASU.”
