ILE-IFE, (OSUN) — Following the prolonged industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the National President of the union, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke has alleged that a large number of its members are leaving the country to pursue their careers abroad.
In interaction with Journalists on Thursday at the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Prof Osodeke lamented that the Federal Government decided to seize the salaries of the striking lecturers and noted that such does not happen anywhere in the world.
“We don’t have a certain statistic but a large number of our members have moved out of the country not because they hate this country but because of the way they are being treated.
“There’s no country in the world where their academics will go on strike and you think the best weapon is to seize their salary,” He said.
ASUU had on February 14, 2022, closed all public Universities across the country over the inability of the Federal Government to implement previous agreements reached with ASUU.
