STATE UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA ARE QUACKS – ASUU PRESIDENT

President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke has described state-owned universities as quacks.

Professor Osodeke, who made the comment in a chat with newsmen, was reacting to the resolve of some of the state universities to call off the strike and return to lectures.

He said the discussion should be about the federal universities, such as the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, University of Ibadan, University of Maiduguri, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, among others, which according to him are the real universities in the country.

The professor insisted that all those other universities have never been part of ASUU and are not counted among the striking ones.
