The Management of the Osun State University (UniOSUN), has declared that the school has no intention of joining the ongoing industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
This was revealed in a statement issued by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Adesoji Ademola, on Monday.
The management’s position is contrary to comments made by the ASUU branch acting chairman of the school, Dr. Wende Olaosebikan.
Adesoji said that the institution will not join the ASUU strike, so as not to disrupt the school academic calendar.
The statement reads in part, “The selling point of UniOsun is that we don’t miss or extend our academic calendar. Our four years is always four years.
“We have, at a point called the ASUU national chairman, and we made our position known concerning joining ASUU strikes.
“We want to inform the University students, stakeholders and the general public that UniOsun has no plan to join the ASUU strike.
“Our students have resumed the rain semester academic session and lectures will commence very soon,” Adesoji said.
Adesoji urged all students to disregard any information on UniOsun will soon join the ASUU strike.
