IN disregard of the threat by its branch of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), the Federal University Technology, Minna, at the
weekend conducted the post-UTME with over 5,000 candidates taking part
in the exercise.
The ASUU in the institution had threatened not
to recognise the candidates if the authorities decides to go ahead with
the UTME.
The university’s chairman of ASUU, Dr. Abdulfatai
Jimoh, insisted that the post-UTME is an academic exercise and will
therefore be against the policy of the union if its members participate
in such activity when they have been warned to suspend all academic
activities.
According to him, “if all academic members of staff
are not on ground, who will oversee the conduct, marking and grading of
the examination as it is done in the past. How will it be done without
us, and that is what we are waiting to see.”
But the Deputy
Vice Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Abdullahi Bala, dismissed the threat
by ASUU, saying that the institution decided to go ahead with the
post-UTME because the conduct of the examination is exclusive
responsibility of the office of the vice chancellor and not that of the
ASUU
The question is who will be in charge of various departments admission list? It seems FUTMINNA as plans to quit ASUU or what do you think
