Fayemi proscribes ASUU, SSANU, NASU at Ekiti University

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has proscribed all the staff unions at the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti.

The staff unions proscribed by the governor include the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), and Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU).

In a memo released by the acting Registrar of the institution, B.S. Momoh said the step was necessary as the unions, through their actions, were distracting the university from its development vision and mission.

Momoh, in a memo to the university community, titled, ‘Proscription of staff unions in BOUESTI,’ listed the affected bodies as ASUU, SSANU and NASU.

He said that the situation in the university had been “one day one trouble” since June 2, when the unions protested against the activities of the instruction’s Governing Council.

Momoh stated, “The management views these acts as unbecoming of and unexpected of responsible staff members hiding under the guise of union activism.

“BOUESTI, being a new university, certainly does not need these distractions if it must develop properly to fulfil the vision and mission for which it was established. It has, therefore, become imperative to ensure that irresponsible acts like these are avoided in our university.

“After a review of the incidents and in line with the directive of Ekiti State Governor and Visitor to the university, the three trade unions in BOUESTI – ASUU, SNANU and NASU are hereby proscribed with immediate effect.

“Members of staff are hereby enjoined to go about their normal duties without fear and desist from getting involved in unlawful activities.”
