The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has described the University of Ilorin as a terrorist organization following the institution’s sacking of the university’s ASUU Chairman, Kayode Afolayan for exposing alleged corrupt practices of the out – going Vice Chancellor, Abdulganiyu Ambali.
The statement was contained in a letter signed on behalf of ASUU by the Chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter of the union, Dr Ayodeji Omole.
“Indeed, the University of Ilorin prides itself in its ability to kill off members of staff and students that are connected in any way to ASUU leadership.
“The hate crime on the part of the university is usually carried out under the guise of uninterrupted academic calendar. Yet, many universities have also maintained a stable academic calendar without destroying union members or their careers.
“To all intents and purposes, Unilorin has become a terrorist organization as far as industrial relation is concerned.” the letter read in part.
ASUU further alleged that despite its numerous petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) and other anti – corruption agencies, the reports of their investigations into allegations of impunity, lawlessness and disregard for due process in the termination of Afolayan’s appointment were never publicized.
