The Vice Chancellor of the Ondo State-owned Adekunle Ajasin University (AAUA), Akungba- Akoko, Professor Olufemi Mimiko, has said that the university will soon recall its students and lecturers back on campus if the three-month-old strike by ASUU is not called off by the end of September.

Mimiko disclosed the plan of the university during an interview with the liveschoolnews. He said the protracted strike had affected the activities of the institution, which had unbroken and stable academic calendar in the last four years.

“We had unbroken four-year academic calendar before the strike began. The strike has affected our programmes. It is not in the interest of our students. “We hope ASUU will call off the strike soon. If not, we are considering taking a measure to bring our students back on campus.

Precisely, if by the end of September, the strike is not called off nationally, we will begin the process of calling off the strike locally,” he said. “We are consulting with our lecturers. Ours is a state university and the case is different.

We don’t have any subsisting agreement with the ASUU. It is the Federal Government that has issues with the ASUU. “In the first instance, our own lecturers are not even expected to go on strike along with the ASUU of the Federal Government-owned institutions. They are not employees of the Federal Government.
