The management of the Osun State University (UniOsun) has declared that the school has no intention of joining the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

This is contained in a statement by the university’s spokesperson, Adesoji Ademola.

“We want to inform the university students, stakeholders and the general public that UniOsun has no plan to join the ASUU strike,” Mr Adesoji said. “Our students have resumed the rain (sic) semester academic session and lectures will commence very soon.”

The management’s position is contrary to comments made by the ASUU branch acting chairman of the school, Wende Olaosebikan, who said the university was working towards joining the strike.

The university’s spokesperson, however, urged all students to disregard any information on whether UniOsun will soon join the ASUU strike.

“The selling point of UniOsun is that we don’t miss or extend our academic calendar. Our four years is always four years,” he added. “We have, at a point, called the ASUU national chairman, and we made our position known concerning joining ASUU strikes.”
