ASUU to Members: Boycott Odoh’s Meeting to Avoid Legitimizing UNIZIK Illegality

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka, has directed all its members not to attend any meeting convened by Dr. Ifeanyi Odoh at the institution.

The Union stated that any meeting convened by Dr. Ifeanyi Odoh would amount to legitimizing illegality.

In a statement, the chairman of ASUU, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Kingsley Ubaoji, directed that members of the Union should also refrain from attending meetings convened by Odoh.

“We have been informed of a meeting convened today by Dr. Benard Odoh, whose appointment as the Vice Chancellor of our great University is barred by a court order and has been nullified. DO NOT ATTEND THIS MEETING,” it stated.

According to ASUU, Dr. Odoh’s actions are subversive, and the Union strongly advised against participating in any activities he promotes.

ASUU stated that attending any meeting organized by Odoh would legitimize his false claims and undermine the legitimate authority of the institution.

The Union further stated that attending any meeting convened by Odoh would amount to supporting an illegitimate regime and undermine ASUU’s efforts to protect members’ interests and promote academic integrity.

ASUU stated that any person who attended a meeting organized by Odoh would face consequences.

“We expect Dr. Odoh to be civil and decent enough to subordinate himself to legitimate authorities. His appointment stands against a court order and has been declared null and void by the Federal Ministry of Education (FME). He has no authority to the position he claims. He should avoid precipitating a breakdown of law and order in our University.”

“We urge all ASUU members to remain vigilant and informed about any developments related to Dr. Odoh’s activities. If you receive any invitations or information regarding any meeting with him, please disregard them.

We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to upholding the principles of academic integrity and excellence. Together, we will protect the interests of ASUU members and ensure the institution’s integrity,” it added.
