The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Benin Zone, has pleaded with Nigerians to join the union in rescuing what it described as “dying university system”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the union’s Zonal Coordinator, Professor Fred Esumeh, in a press briefing on Monday at the ASUU Secretariat, University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo State, said the union called on well-meaning Nigerians to rise up and join it in repositioning the nation’s universities to a globally competitive level that would be able to produce the manpower required to jump-start the re-emergence of a country driven by technology.
“We call on all well-meaning Nigerians, students, workers, civil society organisations to wake up and join ASUU to rescue the dying university system,” Prof. Esumeh said.
“It will help reposition the universities to be globally-competitive and able to produce the manpower required to jump-start the re-emergence of the country.”
