The Obafemi Awolowo University
(OAU), Ile-Ife chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has
pulled out of the national body.
The branch has consequently
formed a new union.
The decision to pull out of ASUU
national by OAU branch was taken at a congress held on February 12, when it
rejected the resolutions of ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on
the face-off between it and the parent body over an internal crisis.
The union in a statement further
hinged its decision on what it termed the, “unilateral removal of the elected
treasurer by ASUU national president and the alleged transfer of N11 million
from OAU branch account to ASUU national account.”
The congress noted that the removal
of the duly elected treasurer and transfer of N11 million prompted majority of
members to request that their check off dues usually remitted to ASUU national
be stopped.
The OAU branch also cited the
decision of ASUU NEC to accept the suspended result of the vice chancellor
election and the rejection of the caretaker committee to run the affairs of the
union after the presiding officers abandoned the congress midstream on
Thursday, October 20, 2016, as reasons for pulling out.
