Oau latest news on resumption
You're referring to the latest news on the resumption of academic activities in Nigerian universities, particularly the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
As of my knowledge cutoff, here are some recent updates:
- OAU Resumes Partially: On January 24, 2023, OAU resumed partially, with students in 100 and 200 levels returning to campus. However, students in 300 and 400 levels were asked to remain at home until further notice.
- ASUU Strike Update: The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been on strike since February 2022, demanding better working conditions, improved funding, and the implementation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement. While there have been some negotiations, the strike remains ongoing.
- FG-ASUU Meeting: On January 25, 2023, the Federal Government and ASUU held a meeting to discuss the ongoing strike. Although the meeting was inconclusive, both parties agreed to reconvene on February 7, 2023, to continue negotiations.
- OAU Management's Position: The OAU management has expressed its commitment to resuming academic activities as soon as possible. In a statement, the university's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ayobade Afolayan, urged students to remain calm and patient, assuring them that the university would do everything possible to ensure a smooth resumption.
Please note that the situation is subject to change, and I recommend checking official university sources or reputable news outlets for the latest updates.
Would you like me to provide more information on the ASUU strike or OAU's resumption plans?
