News Brief: ASUU Accuses Politicians of Commercialising VC Selection
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has criticised the politicisation of vice-chancellor appointments, citing the case at Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri. The union said universities are being treated as commodities for politicians and contractors rather than centres of merit and scholarship.
ASUU President, Christopher Piwuna, also decried poor lecturer welfare, inadequate research resources, and dilapidated infrastructure, warning that neglect of the academic workforce could trigger another industrial crisis.
The union urged federal and state governments to conclude the long-delayed renegotiation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement, stressing that only a proper collective bargaining deal can resolve lingering disputes.
