NIGERIA- Ebonyi State governor, Martin Elechi, has called for total scrapping of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the country.

The above statement was made by the governor yesterday during an interactive session with journalists in Abakaliki, the state capital.

According to him, ASUU’s action is a sabotage of the education sector and the corporate existence of country, adding that the union should always consider the future of students whenever they are making demands.

“The major victims of this strike are not government but the students and things are not what they should be.

“ASUU is due for proscription; the way they are going is sabotage to the existence of the country. When I travelled I heard that lecturers had resumed in EBSU; my plan was that if any lecturer is to resume he or she is to renounce their membership of the union.

“At a point in time, history must change if not we will keep drifting; in EBSU, it is still a case of no work no pay.” He said.
