‘Don’t work against our interest,’ ASUU chairman warns members

The Chairman of the University of Lagos chapter of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU), Oghenekaro Ogbinaka, yesterday urged the union’s members to desist from working against its interest.

He made this appeal in a statement which he made available to journalists in Lagos.

This statement came on the heels of the union’s recent disagreement with some universities that have decided to flout ASUU’s orders and resume school.

Vanguard reports:

He said that the members should not allow their selfish interests to overshadow the interest of the union.

He alleged that some members of the chapter  called an illegal congress recently but failed in their bid to carry out `illegal activities’.

“Congress anticipated their plot that was borne out of greed. No member of the University of Lagos Branch of the ASUU is, therefore, taken aback on their action, “ he said.

He described such as an action as misguided, and urged ASUU members to desist from such.

The chairman gave the assurance that the chapter would remain indivisible.
