AAU still shut
Authorities of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have said the institution will open for academic activities today following the directive by the Federal Government.
It said an attendance register would be open for lecturers to sign.
The university’s spokesman Harris Osarenren told our reporter on phone that the decision was reached after a management meeting.
Osarenren said any lecturer who failed to report for duty would be queried, in line with Federal Government’s directives.
But the chapter’s Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chairman Dr. Tony Monye said the union was preparing for the burial of former ASUU President, Prof. Festus Iyayi.
He said ASUU members would not resume duties.
The Ambrose Alli University (AAU) did not resume classes yesterday.
The university’s spokesman Chris Adamaigbo said the directive to reopen for academic activities was for federal universities.
On whether or not the state government imposed a no-work, no-pay rule on the university, Adamaigbo said: “I cannot answer that.”
The Chairman of AAU-ASUU, Prof. Fred Esumeh said the union’s members had been collecting their salaries throughout the beginning of the strike.
