ASUU said, “If there is any perceived misdemeanour on the part of any officer appointed by the law in the University, due process according to the law must be followed to address such.”

“The Union acknowledges the power of the Visitor to hire and fire on one part and that such power is premised on the recommendation of the governing council according to the extant laws; “As at today, the governing council has not been properly constituted in line with law of the University.
