about the ongoing faceoff between the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government, and how the dispute can be resolvedwill you describe the experience since your appointment as vice-chancellor about seven months ago?
It is guaranteed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that an aggrieved party or parties have the liberty to approach the court of law to seek redress as my colleagues did before my appointment and the issues were resolved also in the court of law, with the university winning the legal suit. Immediately, after I came in, the first thing I did was to make peace among the different stakeholders in the university.
Those issues are no longer there. First, there were six members of staff on interdiction when I came in. They have been interdicted for three and a half years, almost going to four years. They were on half salary and by the grace of God, within my first three weeks in office, I put politics and strategy into play to meet all parties at various levels.
Public universities, which include state and federal ones, are run on three models. The Federal Government operates a 100 per cent funding model for personnel costs. Some state universities also run that same model of 100 per cent funding. Some other universities run a 50/50 or 60/40 model of university funding and then the state contributes to the personnel cost.
Nice one
All will be well
