This is because majority of
the lecturers and all the
Heads Of Departments (HODs)
have dissociated themselves
from the purported strike
and have continued to go
about their normal business
of teaching and counseling
the students.
Some of the lecturers
cornered by National Network
Checks said there is no
cause for the intended
strike, stressing there are
official channels of
addressing any misgivings if
any.
They cited a period in the
life of UST, precisely
during the regime of Prof.
Achinewu where nobody was
consulted before the first
and second appointments yet
the Heavens did not fall.
They blamed their aggrieved
colleagues for frittering
away the opportunity offered
them by Governor Chibuike
Amaechi when the issue was
first raised upon Prof
Fakae's first appointment.
But rather than bear with
him (Amaechi) the protesters
proceeded to court where the
case was thrown out for lack
of merit only for them to
get back to Amaechi on the
same issue.
Except the governor decides
to listen to them,
otherwise, he is very right
to take any action he deems
right in this respect, the
anti-striking lecturers
stated.
On their own part, all the
HODs said their offices are
24 hours open for business
activities as usual.
Students are also attending
their classes, shunning
every attempt to be lured
into the self-serving
strike.### |
