WAR IN LASU UPDATE: Students Disrupt Exams, Stone Vice Chancellor

Students of the Lagos State University (LASU) went on the rampage on Thursday, disrupting the university's second semester examination and destroying properties in the process.
The students had closed and halted all activities Wednesday night as they protested within and in front of the school premises, while blocking the main gate and making bonfires on the Lagos-Badagry expressway.
According to eyewitness, the students threw stones and sticks at the University Vice Chancellor Prof. John Obafunwa, as he tried to evade them.

It was gathered that before the 6-months ASUU strike which ended in December, the school's website had been closed down by the school authorities, preventing students from completing their registration. Now the strike is over, exams are starting and the portal is still closed.
One of the students who claimed anonymity said, "Now that we have resumed, it is still the same thing. Exam is starting today and some students haven't yet registered. The Vice Chancellor said he is not going to open the portal which means all the students affected will have extra year after paying 250,000 as school fees. Most of the affected students paid N250,000 as school fees. Normally, the web portal is closed down a week before exam. The affected final year students will have to get an extra year. It won't cost the VC a dime to order the opening of the portal. That was the reason for yesterday's protest."
According to the students, only 708 were able to register before the portal was shut again leaving, 1292 students to their fate.
When the students union government went to plead on behalf of the students, the VC was reported as saying those yet to register are insignificant and would automatically have to carry the session over, a statement which infuriated the students and they decided to take laws into their hands.

Efforts to speak with the Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. Kabiru Akinyemi, was not successful as he said he cannot comment on the matter now.
However the speaker of the Students Parliamentary Council, Sodiq Adewunmi Sanni, while speaking with journalist said, "The university management needs to consider the students, they are paying the highest school fees for a state university in Nigeria. Even though I am not affected, the students' school fees is outrageous. They have gone through a lot and to now deny them registration is not in anybody's good interest.
He therefore advised that the management postpone the exams till next week, so as to accommodate the 1292 students that are yet to register.

Latest On ASUP Strike 2013

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has insisted that it will continue with the ongoing strike until government meets its demands.
Speaking with our correspondent, the ASUP President, Chibuzor Asomugha, who lamented the discrimination in the nation’s education sector, said it was wrong for the government to treat polytechnics issues with disdain.
“Their thinking that it is only the children of the poor that attend the polytechnics is wrong,” he said.
Asomugha noted that due to promises made by the Federal Government   to the union, it suspended its strike on July 16, 2013 for one month. But the lecturers resumed strike on October 4 after the government failed to respect the pact.
Stressing that the situation was getting out of control, he said the union was embarrassed by the insensitivity of the government concerning the place of polytechnic education in the nation’s development.
“There is no mitigation for this level of insensitivity by government; we are approaching the acme of desperation on this matter,” he added.
Despite sacrifices made by the union to reduce its demands from 13 to four at a meeting with the government, Asomugha said, government had respected only two of the issues.
He said, “Since we resumed the strike on October 4, 2013, we have met with the government officials twice, both times with the ministers of labour and education.
“At the first meeting, we signed a memorandum of understanding in which government expressed a commitment to resolving the core issues. At the second meeting, the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, gave assurances which were documented and signed by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. MacJohn Nwaobiala. These assurances were with regard to core issues which government on its own accepted to resolve.
“At the outset, we brought 13 issues to the negotiating table. Sequel to the intervention of the Joint Committees of Education of the National Assembly, we acceded to government’s offer to extract four of those issues which both sides identified as core to the dispute and which government accepted it could resolve without much complication. Since then, government has been able only to reasonably address two of those issues.”
Asomugha said the government had only inaugurated the governing councils of six polytechnics that were omitted in the first schedule and raised the Needs Assessment Committee while it refused to implement others.
He said the government had failed to address the discrimination and career ceiling against polytechnic graduates in public service; the migration of the lower cadre on the CONTISS 15 salary scale; the release of the White Paper on the visitations to the polytechnics, failure of most state governments to implement the approved salary packages for their polytechnics, and the 65-year retirement age.

Enejere’s Removal: UNN JAC Wants FG To Set Up Panel Of Inquiry

As the demand for the immediate removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Bartho Okolo, and reinstatement of the pro-chancellor, Dr. Emeka Enejere, gets messier, the Joint Action Committee of the institution has called on the Federal Government to set up panel of inquiry to look into the crisis in the university.
ASUU chairperson and chairman of JAC, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, chapter, Dr. Ifeanyi Abada, announced this in a prayer rally held at the freedom square of the university yesterday, explaining that illegality and criminal tendencies had taken the centre stage of the university administration since the inception of Prof. Bartho Okolo as the vice chancellor.
Dr. Abada said JAC comprises ASUU, SSANU, NASU and NAT, adding that they all demanded the express removal of the vice chancellor.
He said the Federal Government should as a matter of urgency and necessity set up a panel of inquiry to stop the illegal internal deduction and refund such money to members of staff.
The JAC chairman explained that they were not only protesting the removal of the vice chancellor but also demanded the immediate recall of all staff of the institution on suspension for the past two years on the orders of the vice chancellor, explaining that the committee also demanded a total stoppage of deductions of electricity bills for staff on campus.
Counting the many faults of Prof. Okolo as vice chancellor of the university, the committee requested for the lifting of ban on promotion of security staff of the institution for the past five years.
Dr. Abada, who was in company of SSANU Chairman Comrade Paul Obododike and his NASU counterpart, Mr. Godfrey Ugwu, called for the implementation of Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure, CONTISS II, and implementation of the recommendations of the university council petitions and appeals committee.
Dr. Abada also noted that the prayer rally of JAC would continue until the Federal Government looked into the demands.
