Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) rejects new university governing councils approved by Bola Tinubu, says most people on the list are “retired politicians” and not technocrats
ASUU’s national president, Prof Emmanuel Osodoke in an interview with Nigerian Tribune, said it is obvious that the composition in the new list is worse than the previous one.
“Go and look at the list again, you will see that most of them are retired politicians. They are honorable this and honorable that. What does that tell us?
“That is how terrible the thing has become. And we can’t run our universities like this if we truly want genuine development to take place,” he said.

He contended that Nigeria cannot manage the universities as it is doing, appointing politicians to governing councils of educational institutions and expecting real development to happen.
ASUU had earlier argued that it was totally illegal for the FG to constitute new councils when the old ones it dissolved over 10 months ago were yet to complete their tenures in line with the University Act upon which they were constituted for the first instance.
