AS the controversy trailing the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka deepens, the Nsukka Zone of ASUU has disowned the group calling itself as ‘ASUU NAU–Progressives’, saying it does not exist.
The zone is made up of Abia state University, Uturu; Anambra state University, Uli; Ebonyi state University, Abakaliki; Enugu state University of science and Technology, Enugu; Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
In a statement issued in Awka yesterday on the development at NAU, the Zonal Coordinator of Nsukka zone, Dr. Chidi Osuagwu of Abia State University who said it is an insult to the body, restated that even if the so called ASUU NAU –Progressive exists, it is not recognized by ASUU.
Osuagwu in company of some officers of the zone including the Chairpersons of Abia State University, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and NAU, David Chikezie, Ifeanyi Abana and Prof. Ike Odumegwu as well as the financial secretary, Jude Omemma among others, said that the constitution and code of practice of AUU recognize the current congress and executive of ASUU NAU under the leadership of Prof Ike Odumegwu.
According to the statement, the attention of the Zone has been drawn to the activities and press briefing by a group that styles itself as ASUU NAU- progressive. It said that for the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that such a body does not exist.
