The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to sanction lecturers in Rivers State-owned universities if they resume lectures.
Professor Abiodun Ogunyemi, ASUU National President, Abiodun Ogunyemi, who stated this on Nigerian Info 92.3 FM, said ASUU had not exempted any of its branches from the ongoing strike.
“We have not exempted any branch of our union from the ongoing strike.
“Any branch that does that will be violating our directives and what we do in such situations is to take them through our procedure and apply appropriate sanctions.”
Also Uzo Onyebinama, the Port Harcourt Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, said although the unions in Rivers State universities were on suspension for previously flouting the order of strike, it did not expect the members to resume classes.
