ASUU tasks Amosun on visitation panel report

The Olabisi Onabanjo University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has urged the Ogun State Government to make public its decision on the recent report of the Visitation Panel to the university.This position, the association said, would enable the university to return faster to the path of academic progress.The ASUU Chairman in the institution, Dr. Adesola Nasir, said the panel report which speaks for itself, vindicated the union on the cries since 2009 on the insidious destruction being perpetrated by the governing council foisted on the institution by the immediate past administration in the state.Nasir, at a news conference on Tuesday in Ago Iwoye on the imminent nationwide ASUU strike, asked Governor Ibikunle Amosun to work on the report urgently to redeem the institution.He said, We are perturbed that the university is still in the trenches as revealed by the recent events. For instance, we were unable to fill the admission quota given to us by National Universities Commission for 2010 admission. This year again, we are still struggling to fill our quota.It is sad if we remember that OOU used to be oversubscribed just three years ago. University students transportation system is non existent as vehicles are grounded; laboratories and libraries are in poor state; cases of inadequate lecturers are still serious while salaries are still owed.The ASUU chairman said it should be glaring to all that the the dramatis personae who hatched the idea upon which the university was run into comatose could not be expected to proffer solution for its recovery.He added, OOU needs a new image powered by improved funding, managed by purposeful and progressive leadership and nurtured by untainted respect for regulations and the rule of law.
