ASUU: Strike Update

ASSU THREATENS TO CANCEL POST UTME EXAMS

   Thousands of candidates who sat for this year’s post-university matriculation examinations (Post-UME) while lecturers were on strike seems to have written the examination in vain.

This is as the workers have denied being part of the exercise.


Also, ASUU has claimed that the leadership of the universities that have conducted the examination hurriedly did so because of the financial gains accruable from the candidates.

The Ibadan Zone of ASUU comprises University of Lagos (UNILAG), University of Ibadan (UI), Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Lagos State University (LASU), University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB), and Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED).

Nasir, while speaking described the action as “an abnormality.”

” How can you hold such an important examination without the input of academic staff,” he asked rhetorically.

“Vice-chancellors are employing non-academic staff and consultant to do Post-UME. They are doing it because of money. The exam already constitutes a crisis-point in the universities.”

According to him, “results from the examination may be jettisoned.” and this might mean that Students who wrote these exams during the strike may have their admission taken away, if ASUU carries out their threat.


The stance of ASUU will no doubt cause tension among prospective students, parents and the affected universities.

this shows that ASUU will not stop until FG respondes to their demand
