A Member House of Representatives and Deputy Governorship Candidate
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 2015 governorship
election in Kogi State, Hon James Faleke, has attacked the Kogi State
governor, Yahaya Bello, for proscribing of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, Kogi State University chapter.
He expressed worries concerning what he described as the
“increasingly dictatorial attitude of Governor Bello”, saying the
situation could cause trouble in the state.
“I was shocked when I heard the new. It beats my imagination how the
decision could advance the cause of educational development in the
state,” Faleke said.
He advised that instead of a ban, what the governor should do was to
“continuously engage the lecturers in an atmosphere of give-and-take”.
Faleke called for the “immediate reversal” of the proscription order
and a return to “peaceful engagement with the lecturers in order to save
the state another round of school shutdown.”
DAILY POST reports that the Kogi State Governor, Yahya Bello, earlier in the week, announced the proscription of ASUU on Kogi State University campus over the alleged refusal of the teachers to resume lectures until their demands for better working environment are met.
