The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has decried the federal government’s decision to dissolve the governing councils in universities across the country. 

The union called on President Bola Tinubu to rescind what they described as an obnoxious decision to dissolve the councils without completing their tenures of office.

The National Vice Chairman of ASUU, Comrade Christopher Piwuna, said this in an event organized in honour of retiring lecturers at the Joseph Sarwuaan Tarka University Makurdi, Benue State. 

Piwuna said it was wrong to dissolve governing councils and transfer their powers to the Federal Ministry of Education or the National Universities Commission without due recourse to the university laws.
