THE University of Jos (UNIJOS) has directed its lecturers to resume work immediately.
The university’s management reopened yesterday, urging the lecturers and students to return to the classroom.
A statement yesterday in Jos, the Plateau State capital, by the Registrar, Jilli Dandam, said: “Following the Federal Government’s order for the resumption of academic activities in all federal institutions, the academic workers, the pro-chancellor and chairman of council, on behalf of the Governing Council, has directed all academic workers …to return to their various departments, units and commence work immediately…”
Bu the university’s ASUU chapter described the directive as laughable.
The UNIJOS-ASUU chairman Dr David Jangkam said: “It is only the union that can ask its members to call off the strike and go back to the classrooms. The strike was not declared by the VC. So, I wonder why he will be the one to call it off.”
