The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected the sum of 50 million naira that was donated as part of an intervention fund.
Ahmed Isah popularly called “Ordinary President” of the Berekete family radio station invited the union’s president prof. Emmanuel Osodeke and his team today, June 11 to the radio program where the idea of the intervention fund was formally presented.
In his effort to make the union buy into the intervention idea, he disclosed that the Akwa Ibom state governor, Udom Emmanuel had donated N50 million to the course.
After presenting the money, ASUU president who wasn’t pleased with the development responded by saying the union shouldn’t be associated with such.
Angered by the response, the radio host fired back at ASUU and threatened to stop the intervention.
Listeners who called in during the show described ASUU’s response as rude and insensitive.
Recall that the on air personality had called on well meaning Nigerians and presidential aspirants in the forth coming general elections to contribute the same amount they had used in purchasing their nomination forms in view of settling ASUU’s demands and ending the strike. Ahmed also revealed that he had donated N10 million of his personal money to the course.
