Shortly after his resignation from the membership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday, Prof. Mohammed Aliyu Paiko has proposed the creation of another association to be charged with the administration of state universities.
Paiko, who is of the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Lapai (IBBUL), tendered his resignation earlier today.
In alternative to ASUU, he proposed the creation of “Academic Staff Union of State Universities (ASUSU).
Read his reasons below:
1. Each State University should take up their local issues with their Council and Visitor.
2. National Body of ASUSU to be for Benchmarking meetings and to share Experiences.
3. Each State University can strive for global competitiveness.
4. ASUU for now does not respect us and we have nothing to gain by following in their struggles.
5. “Strike” is NOT the LAST RESORT to Negotiations.
6. To save Nigerian University system, we need Thinking NOT Stagnation.
7. All State Universities have NO further business in ASUU, after Osedeke tagged us ALL as “Irrelevant Quacks”!
