President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, has described state-owned universities, among others resuming lectures, as “quacks”.
The ASUU president made the assertion while appearing on Arise Television on Friday.
Reacting to the resolve of some of the state universities to call off the strike and return to lectures, Prof Osodeke said; “Yobe, go and check, just like Kaduna university, what’s happening there? Please don’t set those examples (referring to those resuming lectures), they’re irrelevant.

“Talk about the issues. Is Ibadan on strike? Is UNN on strike? Is ABU on strike? Is BUK on strike? Is Maiduguri and Lagos on strike?
“Talk about important universities not those quacks. They’re not part of our strike. Set the ones that are members of our strike,” he said.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year over improved welfare, and revitalisation of public universities, among others.
