Image result for The Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU)The Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU), Niger Delta University chapter, has excoriated the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, for establishing a private university christened, ‘the African International University’.
ASUU also lamented months of unpaid salaries of lecturers, the alleged underfunding of NDU as well as a ploy by the governor to strangulate the state-owned university because of the new private university.
The NDU expressed these concerns on Friday(July 22) during a press conference at the NDU’s Faculty of Law Campus in Yenagoa,  Bayelsa State.
The Chairman, ASUU, NDU chapter, Dr. Stanley Ogoun, said that the passage of the bill to establish AIU,  a public-private partnership arrangement, to be sited at Toru Orua,  Dickson’s hometown, was an attempt to destroy the state-owned university.
