The Union of Nigerian University Lecturers, ASUU Re-elects Professor Osodeke As National President.
Nigerian university lecturers under the aegis of the Academy Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday re-elected Professor Emmanuel Osodeke unopposed as their National President.
By his re-election, Osodeke will manage the undertakings of the association for the following two years.
Osodeke directed the association’s battle with the Nigerian government last year when it picketed for quite a long time.
Their requests incorporate the substitution of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) with the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for the installment of the patrons’ remittances; renegotiation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU Understanding, the arrival of revitalisation reserve, arrival of white papers on appearance boards to colleges. At the time association canceled the strike, large numbers of its requests had not been met.
Aside from Osodeke of the Michael Okpara College of Horticulture in Umudike, Abia Express, the patrons reappointed Chris Piwuna, an Expert Specialist and Academic administrator at the College of Jos, as VP, The PUNCH reports.
