of the union which pledged loyalty to the management of the institution are sponsored by the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Greg Nwakoby.
Recall that a faction of ASUU in the university, led by Prof Osita Chiaghanam had earlier in the week pulled out of the strike by the union, insisting they will continue to discharge their duties. “The meeting was sponsored by the Vice-Chancellor and chaired by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof Ekwenze. It is therefore a university management meeting and not a meeting of ASUU-COOU.
Aniebo added that the meeting of the faction was held in the same hall where his faction had been evicted by gun-wielding security men, this he said was an indication of the fact that they were not the authentic faction of the union.
