OODNEWS From Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko. AAUA Lecturers, Students Resume for 2nd Semester Lecturers and students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, have started resuming for 2nd Semester of the 2013/2013 academic Session yesterday (Monday, 25th November 2013, as directed by the Institution’s authorities. The University had been a part of the ongoing five months’ national strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities before the resumption. Some of the academic staff who spoke with the Information Unit of the University but would not want their names in print confirmed that they had resumed for work and that they attended the Faculty Board meetings slated for the day. Some of the students, who also spoke, expressed their happiness at the resumption. Oluwasegun Ogunleke, said, “I am very happy. It has not been easy going on about the five months strike. One of my expectations was to complete my schooling here in October this year. But so many plans have been disrupted. This is unusual. Now that we have resumed, I am very happy. Thanks to our VC. He has been like a daddy and everything to us.” Another student, Opeyemi Owoola, said, “When I received the information on my phone that we were to resume today, I thought it was a joke. Now that I can see that the Faculty meeting is holding, I am sure that the lectures will begin next Monday. I am very happy because I should write my final exams by March next year. ASUU has wasted four months of our time. Oladimeji Ogunwale said, “It is good thing that we have resumed. As a final year student I am very happy despite that ASUU has really wasted our time.” It will be recalled that Enugu State University of Technology, ESUT, Enugu, and the Ibrahim Badamosi University, Lapai, in Niger state, had earlier announced their resumption dates.
