The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Emmanuel Osodeke, on Wednesday, said the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has no constitutional right to proscribe union activities in the state-owned institution, Ambrose Alli University.
The ASUU president, who disclosed this when he led other national delegates of the union in solidarity protest to the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, over their unpaid salaries and other sundry issues, said ASUU is a registered body that has the right to operate in the country.
Corroborating the national president, and the immediate past president, Biodun Ogunyemi, says the union needs to rise up against the action of the state governor for proscribing union activities in the university in order to deter other state governors for emulating the bad gesture.
