‘Union now opposition party’

From: Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, has said that he was not going back on his decision to proscribe the Kogi State University (KSU) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

He said he took the decision in order to save education and the future of Kogi children.

Governor Bello’s administration banned the union after an emergency session of the state executive council, in Lokoja, on Wednesday.

Speaking with State House correspondents after attending a meeting of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), on Wednesday night, Bello accused the union of being a tool in the hands of political opponents, noting that all efforts to get the lecturers back to work after months of strike action did not yield any positive result.

Asked if he was prepared for what is to come should the national body of ASUU were to tackle his government, he replied. “Well, the most important thing is that Kogi State University belongs to Kogi State and it is the future of our children and of our students that we are concerned about about.
