 The chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan chapter, Deji Omole, says 

"We are not part of INEC, 

The electoral commission can look elsewhere for ad-hoc staff to conduct the election - 

 Nigerians are only interested in credible election and not participation of lecturers. 

(ASUU) has said it is ready to pursue its ongoing strike to a resultive conclusion irrespective of general elections or not. 


Reports had it that the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Yakub Mahmood, had said that the planned ASUU strike might affect the 2019 Nigeria general election.

 But the chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan (UI) chapter, Deji Omole, replied on January 3, that the union would not be distracted by the 2019 elections in its struggle to revive public universities.



 He said that INEC could recruit ad-hoc staff from eligible Nigerians “who are in their millions’’.

 “We are not part of INEC, therefore, INEC can look elsewhere for ad-hoc staff to conduct the election. “ Nigerians are only interested in  credible election and not participation of lecturers.

 “Even if we are not on strike, not all our members will be interested in participating in the elections, because it is a voluntary thing. 

“Whoever that feels like participating in the elections can surely go ahead to participate. 

“If you check in the letter addressed to individuals that have participated in the election in the past, the letter is addressed to individuals and not to ASUU,” the UI ASUU chairman said.
