Strike: Our members must not attend UI convocation ceremony – ASUU declares
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan chapter, on Tuesday, November 10, asked her members to boycott the 2020 convocation and the foundation laying ceremonies of the premier university.
Regional reporter in Ibadan, Ridwan Kolawole, reports that the decision by the ASUU may not be unconnected with the ongoing strike embarked upon by the union.
The union in a release signed by the chairman of the UI chapter, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, stated that the position of the union is that holding convocation ceremonies is a violation of the principle of the ongoing strike.
Akinwole further stressed that the union was constrained to advise members not to be in attendance or participate in the preparation for and the actualisation of the said convocation and 72nd Foundation Day ceremonies.
It was gathered that the Union has also communicated her position via a letter written to the outgoing vice-chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka.
