ASUU Warns Of Imminent Crisis, Kicks Against The Scrapping Of Post-UTME _Beegist Updates

The
Academic
Staff Union
of
Universities
(ASUU) has
disclosed
that the nation’s universities may soon
experience crisis if the federal government
fails to begin the implementation of the 2009
ASUU-FG agreement, especially the NEEDS
assessment agreement.
The Union equally demanded that the federal
government reverse the ban on post-UTME as
well as the exclusive right granted to JAMB to
admit students into tertiary institutions.
The ASUU president, Biodun Ogunyemi made
this known while addressing new men
yesterday in Abuja.
According to him, the scrapping of Post-UTME
and the position of the Federal government on
the issue portends serious danger for the
quality of education in this country.
He emphasized that since the introduction of
Post-UTME, there has been improvement in
the quality of students admitted into the
universities as evident in the declining drop-
out rate and urged the federal government to
reconsider its decision and convene a
stakeholders meeting before making any
policy.
