Aare Afe Babalola, the President and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), has accused the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), of blocking the resuming of universities across the country.
He made this known in a statement released and signed by ABUAD Head, Corporate Affairs, Tunde Olofintila on on Monday, 6th July, 2020.
As states by him, the federal government should allow graduating students of tertiary institutions resume, just like pupils in Primary 6, JSS 3 and SS 3.
Babalola however, blamed the objection from the “almighty” ASUU as the reason varsities are still closed.
“I was not disappointed on the non-resumption of final year students of tertiary institutions, because I knew the reason why the government left out the final year students of university.
“And I believe the Federal Government was aware that if it directed final year students of public universities to resume, the almighty ASUU would object and in this case, ASUU has objected,” the statement read.
ASUU president, Prof Abiodun Ogunyemi, speaking last week, insisted the Federal Government has not put in place enough measures to contain the spread of the pandemic in schools.
