The Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria, Prof. Abdullah Uba Adamu, has said that the years of struggle of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is beginning to pay off with governments commitment to part of the union’s demands.
Speaking yesterday in Abuja at the 80th birthday celebration and book presentation of Emeritus Prof. Godwin Sogolo, Prof. Adamu said contrary to wise speculations, the demands are not only pegged to staff welfare, but for better facilities and infrastructure withing the university ecosystem.
He said although the challenges are many, but with persistence and solidarity, Nigerian universities can attain the standard they should be and compete favourably with their counterparts around the globe.
