Varsity ignores ASUU,holds post UTME

There is big war coming between ASUU and its
branch of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), the Federal University
Technology, Minna. At the weekend the branch
went ahead to conduct the post-UTME with over
5,000 candidates taking part in the exercise.
The ASUU in the institution had threatened not to recognise the candidates if the authorities
decides to go ahead with the UTME.
The university's chairman of ASUU, Dr. Abdulfatai Jimoh, insisted that the post-UTME is
an academic exercise and will therefore be
against the policy of the union if its members
participate in such activity when they have been
warned to suspend all academic activities.
According to him, "if all academic members of
staff are not on ground, who will oversee the conduct, marking and grading of the examination as it is done in the past. How will it be done without us, and that is what we are waiting to see."
But the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics),
Prof. Abdullahi Bala, dismissed the threat by
ASUU, saying that the institution decided to go
ahead with the post-UTME because the conduct
of the examination is exclusive responsibility of
the office of the vice chancellor and not that of
the ASUU.
