<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns in the strongest terms the assault by Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, the university's PRO, against a student during the candle light procession of late Akorede Omolola. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It should be recalled that the late Akorede Omolola, in the first place, died an avoidable death, fast-tracked by the poorly equipped university health centre. Despite the effort of the university to spin the event as a case of natural death, the lack of capacity to administer oxygen to the deceased student shows that every effort was not employed to save the life of this brilliant and promising star. The ERC mourns Mr. Akorede Omolola, and we place the blame for his death at the doorstep of the OAU authorities. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is particularly distasteful that it was during the candlelight procession of Mr. Akorede Omolola that an agent of the university management, the school's PRO, Mr Abiodun Olarewaju, would choose to showcase another brazenness. Mr. Olarewaju slapped a student, who was having a civilised engagement with him. This action reflect some level of emotional deficiency, for another student to be assaulted at the burial programme of a colleague who has been hastened to his grave by the incompetence of one of the university's agencies. No action of disapprobation would serve than for the management to immediately disengage Mr. Olarewaju, and therefore prove that such inhumane treatment of students is not a university policy. The ERC defends the clauses of fundamental human rights in the Nigerian Constitution that confer dignified treatment on every Nigerian citizen; clauses the university has to abide by.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The attacks on students, from both university staff and non-university actors, have increased ever since the so-called suspension of union activities. Just as the ERC had warned, the absence of a students' union has rendered students defenseless in the face of unprecedented attacks on and off campus. The management's objective for suspending the Union was to browbeat students to submission, and stifle complaints about the waning welfare conditions on campus. Mr. Olarewaju's unwholesome conduct was therefore only an unconscious progression (a form of Freudian slip) from the university's central policy – to dehumanise students to such a degree they become incapable of protest or complaint. The ERC condemns this turn of event because it is not only morally unacceptable, it tramples on the fundamental rights of students as citizen of this country deserving of dignity, self respect, freedom of association and speech.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Olarewaju is just one out of the forbearers of recurring assaults on students' rights and sensibilities. This same university was forced to discipline Professor Akinyemi, after public outcry over his sexual abuse of a female student. As long as the union remains proscribed, and students lack the platform to defend their humanity, there is bound to emerge similar cases in future. Even now, some victims of sexual abuse are afraid to come forward with allegations because of the absence of a union to protect their anonymity. More reason Great Ife students must obey the clarion call to place demand on their management to immediately and unconditionally restore the union as a first step towards safeguarding their dignity and self respect.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The ERC, as it is traditional with us, is committed to be at the forefront of the campaign for restoration of the Students' Union, and protection of the radical values that make us Great Ife. We call on courageous students who understand the historical importance of the moment to join the campaign for restoration of the Students' Union by joining the Education Rights' Campaign. We can be contacted by students willing to report similar cases of abuse of their persons or rights through the following mobile numbers: 0903 443 1719; 081-370-51249</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">The national leadership of the Education Rights Campaign (ERC) is
concerned about the unfortunate turn of events at the Lagos State University
(LASU) over the conduct of the students’ union elections. The actions of the
LASU management via the Division of Student Affairs during and particularly
after the February 27, 2019 elections can only be interpreted as brazen
encroachment on the independence of the Students Union.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">We are particularly surprised by a letter of invitation to a
“Swearing-in Ceremony of the newly Elected Lagos State University Students
Union Executives and its Functionaries” emanating from the DSA. This letter not
only usurps the role of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), it is
equally insensitive and provocative considering that key presidential
candidates who felt aggrieved at the conduct of the February 27 elections are
still at the election petition tribunal to try to prove their case for conduct
of supplementary elections. Also, this invitation is in violation of an order
of the election petition committee which directed the LASUSU-IEC to maintain
status quo on all activities pending the determination of the substantive suit.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Ordinarily, Students Union elections are meant to be the sole
business/responsibility of only matriculated students who are union members.
However, if the management must play any role at all, we would have expected
that such a role would be to ensure unity and cohesion and not to sow division
and enmity. Unfortunately, the role the management has played so far is
to sow division, cause enmity and fan the embers of disunity in the ranks of
LASUSU. This situation is unacceptable and we therefore unreservedly pitch out
tent with the LASUites who are currently challenging the outcome of the
February 27 elections at the election petition committee. We urge the
management to allow this legal challenge to take its course and to respect and
obey the outcome.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">One of the presidential candidates is Comrade Nurudeen Alowonle
(a.k.a. Omomeewa) who is a leading member of the ERC and the Lagos State
Coordinator of the organization. He polled about 553 votes just coming a little
behind the declared candidate, Ola Delz who polled 612. However as at the time
these votes were collated, a number of faculties were unable to vote because of
a glitch in the electronic voting system. It is instructive to note that out of
over 15, 000 eligible voters, only 2,131 students were able to vote. This
glitch which was reported to the appropriate authorities compelled the IEC to
agree to conclude the elections the next day in order to allow these other
voters to exercise their franchise. But this was not to be. The IEC
dilly-dallied for weeks until March 13 when it announced winners in an election
it previously declared “inconclusive” and “in progress”. All of these show that
pressure must have been mounted on the IEC by powerful forces in the
management. For instance, at a meeting with aggrieved presidential candidates
to discuss the supplementary elections, the IEC alleged lack of cooperation
from the Division of Student Affairs in terms of finance and logistics to
organize the supplementary elections.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">As things stand now, the decision to go on to inaugurate the
Students Union executive can only be interpreted as an insensitive and
provocative step by the management to force its way through. This is
condemnable and shows that the management has more than a passing interest in
the affairs of the union. Their conduct so far shows they clearly have a
preferred candidate</span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: red;"> </span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 12pt;">that has to be desperately installed in
violation of democratic standards</span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> <span style="color: black;">.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> Obviously, the candidate is not Omomeewa,
the first runner up. This is not surprising given the role of Omomeewa in
struggle both within and outside LASU. The LASU management clearly does not
want a radical at the head of LASUSU who could fight energetically for the
interests of students against the anti-poor and anti—students policies
including increment of charges and fees, the undemocratic dressing code, poor
studying and living conditions and the nefarious activities of the campus
marshals.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">However, if the electoral petition committee is bold, courageous
and true to its responsibility, its judgment has the power to reverse any
illegality. However this will not be enough. Students must also be prepared to
struggle with public meetings, mobilizations and peaceful mass protests to
ensure the petition committee’s judgment is obeyed. This situation offers an
opportunity to begin to reclaim the independence of LASUSU. We call on all
students to be steadfast and committed to ensure that this encroachment of the
union’s independence is resisted.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">We also call on Staff Unions not to be indifferent. As the saying
goes “ when the grim reaper cuts down members of one’s age group, the
unambiguous message is for the survivors to prepare for their own time”. An
injury to one is an injury to all. We challenge ASUU-LASU, SSANU-LASU,
NASU-LASU AND NAAT-LASU to all rise up and condemn the actions of the
management. By this public statement, we notify all staff unions as well as
pro-labour organizations and trade unions of the undemocratic actions of the
LASU management and call for their solidarity and intervention.</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
Students' Union of Lagos State University held elections into elective
positions in the students' union on 27th February, 2019. The electronic voting
system adopted for the conduct of the election malfunctioned particularly in
certain faculties during the process of voting. Then the electoral commission during
the late evening of the Election Day announced that the election would continue
the following day, in order not to subject students to uncertain security
situation if the election had continued through the night. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A
member of the Education Rights Campaign (ERC), Alowonle Nurudeen (Omomewa),
contested for the office of the President of the LASU Students' Union in the
election. As a leading member of the Education Rights Campaign (ERC) in LASU,
he has played active roles in the struggles in defence of the democratic rights
of students as well as decent learning conditions. In some of these roles, he
has had to confront uncompromisingly the management on certain unwholesome
policies– especially over a sexist policy of the school that subjects female
students to molestation in the hands of university guards in the name of
policing so-called indecent dressing. It should be noted that members of the
ERC in LASU have warned in advance of the ploy of the management to disqualify
Omomewa at the earliest stage of this electioneering process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However
this ploy became manifest in another dimension, and through the Electoral
Commission that made itself a willing tool of manipulation in the hands of the
LASU's management. On 28th February, when the election was to continue based on
the promise of the commission a day earlier, the electoral body failed to go
ahead with the election. At a meeting with aspirants on that same day, the
commission cited lack of cooperation from the management, in terms of
logistical support, for the failure to go ahead with the election as earlier
announced. The commission equally reiterated to all the aspirants that the
election was inconclusive, and promised that a new date for supplementary
elections woukd be communicated soon. What the commission eventually
communicated to the studentry was a rambling opinion that painted its previous
declaration of inconclusive election as an erroneous judgment based on a
mistaken belief. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On
13th March, after students had waited fourteen days since the 17th of
February's election for a new date for a supplementary election, the commission
informed students that it would instead announce the leading candidates from
the botched election as winners for the various contested positions. It further
justified this U-turn in judgment on the realisation of the commission that the
union constitution did not make provision for a supplementary election(!).
Shamefully, the commission had reversed itself on two different occasions, and
with their justification growing weaker and desperate still. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It
should be noted that the botched election of 27th February was fraught with a
suspicious glitch, because the technical problems with the electronic voting
system was more pronounced at the Faculty of education – where Omomewa is a
student as well as some members and supporters of the ERC. The comrades had
from the beginning of the election noted this anomaly as containing indications
of a concerted effort of the management and the electoral commission to
frustrate Omomewa's share of the votes in his faculty. Every member of this commission
has betrayed the trust that their colleagues reposed in them to have nominated
them to serve on the commission. They have proved to be renegers and astute
manipulators of popular will – history will not absolve them well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
results from the botched election of 27th February showed an election that was
being keenly contested, and unpredictable at that. Especially because hundreds
of willing voters were yet to exercise their franchise as eligible members of
the students' union. Until the commission halted the process, the leading
candidate was emerging over the first runner-up (omomewa) with only 59 votes,
while the first runner-up was leading the second runner-up by only 59 votes,
and the second runner-up was also leading the third runner-up by 57 votes only.
If the members of the commission had been conscientious, the nature of this
close race would have endeared them to remaining steadfast with the need for a
supplementary election. Unfortunately, they yielded to the pressure of the
university management. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We
have on our hand another odious instance of management's encroachment on
independent unionism. The LASU management has a high stake in this election,
because of its visible movement lately in the direction of fee increment, which
has already taken as victim fresh intakes into the university. The comrades of
the ERC in LASU have warned students of the systematic dimension of the policy,
which is bound to affect both fresh and returning students soon enough. The
university therefore has no doubt about it, as much as the ERC too, that a
students' union under the leadership of Omomewa would resist such attempt at
increment at a time the nation's elites are resisting the clamour by workers
for a new minimum wage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
comrades have reiterated their intention to seek the impartial intervention of
the Election Petition Committee in the matter, and prayed in their petition for
the conduct of a supplementary election. It should be noted that the electoral
commission had already made a statement before the petition committee that the
election was still in progress (inconclusive), when some candidates had
challenged the botched election in the first week of March. However, this would
depend too on the capacity of the electoral commission to be courageous and
independent in its deliberation. It would also depend on the pressure that
could be mounted on the LASU management for it to desist from its unwholesome
tinkering with the students' union election and activities in general. This
development should start a discussion on the financial independence of the
students' union in LASU, which would prevent such logistical nightmares in the
future – the type of which the commission has complained of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
LASU management is notorious for its suppressive actions against both staff and
students' unions. Recently, the same LASU management suspended the payment of
check-up dues to the union of academic staff (ASUU) of the institution. This
action must have been taken to break the struggle of ASUU for payment of
certain statutory allowances that the university management is owing the staff
as well as for reinstatement of their sacked leaders. It is easy to see, behind
the action of the electoral commission, the hand of the management at work
against the interest of LASU students. Students must maintain a principled
position in the defense of their demoractic rights to freedom of association
and independent unionism. The ASUU and other staff unions in LASU must
see the grain of a struggle for independent unionism in this present
circumstance. Transparent management of schools can only be realised when
unions are independent and vibrant. The ERC calls on all staff unions in LASU
to reject this management's interference in the electoral affairs of the LASU
Students' Union.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> PRESS STATEMENT</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
Education Rights Campaign (ERC) wishes to reiterate her principled support for
the ongoing strike of ASUU and ASUP. We believe this strike which is about
compelling government to fulfill its social responsibility in terms of funding
public education and improving the conditions of education workers deserve the principled
support of students, parents and the labour movement as a whole. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To
this extent, we condemn the position taken by the leadership of the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) towards the strike which consists of
issuing ultimatum to ASUU to call off the strike without any regard for the
crucial issues of education funding which the strike was called to address. Now
with the recent visit of NANS to President Buhari at which a big birthday card
was presented by NANS to president Buhari, it is clear that all of NANS
recriminations about this strike has nothing to do with protecting the
interests of Nigerian students who are suffering at home due to the strike but
actually dictated by the interests of the hungry locusts in the leadership of
NANS to get close to the corridors of power in exchange for money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As
we in the ERC have labored to explain, the best way to protect the interest of
students and ensure this strike comes to an end as soon as possible is for the
students' movement to rally behind the strike in order to mount pressure on the
Federal government to meet the demands of ASUU and ASUP. Any other method is
opportunistic and a tongue-in-cheek endorsement of the anti-education and
anti-student policies of underfunding and fee hike being implemented by the
President Buhari APC government. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ERC
members have campaigned over the last decade for adequate funding of the
education sector, on the basis that quality education is crucial to economic
growth and national security. Regrettably, this dogged issue of funding has
remained the bane of strike actions in tertiary institutions since 2009.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
agreements the federal government willingly entered with the unions were
foregrounded by a NEEDS assessment report, a report that was conducted, sanctioned
and adopted by the federal government. The pictures from the NEEDS assessment report,
of the overcrowded lecture rooms and unequipped laboratories, have worsened
today. Instructions, in the sciences and medical sciences, ought to be
demonstrated; but today, science and medical courses are largely taught
abstractly. The ERC therefore believes that the material conditions that
justified the several agreements with the unions are not only existing, but
have worsened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We
are witnesses to the fee hikes that rocked tertiary institutions in the first
half of 2018. Fee hikes are convenient for school authorities to augment
inadequate funding, and grossly unfair to parents and guardians that a
recession had pushed closer to poverty. Underfunding of education hold students
and parents as victims as much as education workers. We therefore find the
position of NANS on the present strike unfortunate and self-annihilating,
because NANS's position failed to recognise the interest of students for
comfortable hostels and quality education in the struggle of the education
workers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When
students were protesting fee increment in UNIBEN and UI last year, NANS lost
her voice and only just discovered her voice of scurrilities over ASUU and ASUP
struggles. That smacks of opportunism! The ERC holds the opinion that NANS is
existing in the firmament, and cut off from the realities obtainable on
campuses, and therefore incapable of leading advocacy in the interests of
Nigerian students. Just to prove this point further: at the press conference
where NANS cast aspersion on the demands of ASUU and ASUP, it also seized the
moment to endorse President Muhammadu Buhari, despite the intangible
contribution of the latter to the education sector.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Meanwhile,
the Buhari-led federal government keeps drawing the same conclusions
independently as the striking unions about the crisis in the education sector.
But it keeps stopping short of funding the sector, even when it agrees that the
conditions creating demand for funding are there. We note the revelations of
ASUU concerning the Wale Babalakin committee, which was set up by the
government to renegotiate the terms of the agreements that previous governments
had entered with ASUU. ASUU is demanding <s>for</s> the removal of Wale
Babalakin as the chairman of the committee, because he is fixated on fee hike
and education loans, according to the ASUU leadership. The ERC believes that
the federal government has demonstrated obvious insincerity on the central
question of education funding that created the perennial strikes, and evades
that question through nebulous means. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We
believe that the government has the wherewithal to fund education, even beyond
the current demands of the education sector unions for a one-off funding
intervention in the sector. Less than 11, 800 political appointees are fleecing
this country, through their outrageous remuneration and inflated cost of
contracts or outsourcing of government's projects. The same government rushes
to bail out a bank that was plundered by her chief executive, to save the money
of a few stinkingly rich people who own more than 50% of the deposits in
Nigerian banks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The
ERC holds that the capitalist system that this country runs is responsible for
most of government's misplaced priorities that deflect from funding sectors
important to vast majority of the people, in order to save funds for looting. This
is why the struggle against education underfunding and improvement in workers
welfare can only win permanent victory when linked with the general struggle of
the working class to put an end to capitalism and enthrone a workers and poor
people’s government armed with socialist policies. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">In the first day of the lesson, which is strictly organised for students transiting from SS2 to SS3 in Ibadan North Local Government, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a total enrolment of 55 students from not fewer than 7 public secondary schools within and outside the said local government area was recorded. Between the first week and now (fourth week) the number of regular and registered participating students has increased to over 100 students from over ten public schools and 3 private schools with the participation of over 10 volunteers teachers. None of these teachers are being paid for the service rendered and they include members of Democratic Socialist Movement, DSM and Socialist Party of Nigeria, SPN, some teachers in public secondary schools who have been long-time supporters of DSM as well as some academic and post graduate students from the University of Ibadan who were attracted to participate in the lesson through a letter written to Department of Teacher Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Subjects that are taught are Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Literature in English, Government, Economics, Biology, Commerce etc. They are usually handled by different teachers from Monday to Thursday which are scheduled strictly for serious academic work while Fridays are set aside for some extra-curricular activities like drama, poetry etc during which students are encouraged to showcase their potentials and capacity. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">Since this lesson commenced, two of the three Fridays have also been used to introduce the students to ERC. This was with a view to win some change seeking ones voluntarily to the banner of the organisation as a step towards building a future generation of activists and young Nigerians that will continue to deepen the campaign for free and quality education at all level. One of these occasions was equally used to introduce Socialist Democracy, a bi-monthly publication of DSM. No fewer than 20 copies of the SD have so far been bought by some of the students while 25 of them had shown interest to join ERC.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">Going by this background, it is very obvious that this year edition is an improvement of the last year own. This is despite the effort and attempts by the Oyo State government to frustrate the lesson from being held this year. The Community Grammar school which was used as the venue for the inaugural edition of the free holiday lesson last year was suddenly picked by the Oyo State government as the venue to organise its own programme tagged OYOMESI. This is after we had already secured the same venue through a letter written by the ERC and approved by the School management.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be recalled that OYOMESI is a scheme that also include a free lesson for students during holiday. This was organised last year at St Luis Grammar School, a public school located some meters always from the Community Grammar School. This was around same period ERC free lesson was going on at Community Grammar School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But while the ERC lesson which was organised strictly for students transiting from SS2 to SS3 attracted a total number of 95 students from 7 public schools, the OYOMESI which is organised probably with millions of Naira by the state government under a Private Public Partnership, PPP arrangement for students from JSS 1 to SS3 did not last beyond the first week of its commencement as less than 50 students enrolled largely from the school the programmes held.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">We suspect that it was this huge success recorded by the ERC lesson that prompted the Oyo State Government to change the venue for its own programme from the venue used last year to the venue used by the ERC. It could be that the Oyo State government thought that what responsible for the huge participation of students in the ERC lesson was because of the location of the Community grammar School which is not only central but also close to the road side.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">Unfortunately, despite this, there is no practical sign that the school is currently being used for such a purpose. It could either be that the programme was not successful like that of last year or the venue was purposely held down by the Oyo State government to prevent the ERC from holding this year holiday coaching </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">There is no way the OYOMESI would have attracted the participation of the teachers and students. Asides the fact the most teachers did not trust the scheme, there was no practical effort by the state government to sensitise and encourage the students to participate in the scheme let alone their parents who could have been carried along so that they can encourage their children to participate in the scheme. This was deliberate by the state government as the scheme was not originally designed for students to participate but for it to be used as a smokescreen to siphon public fund.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">Finally, the on-going second edition of the ERC lesson will be brought to an end with a public symposium which has been scheduled to hold by 12noon on Tuesday, 4<sup>th</sup> September, 2018. This symposium is hope to be used to bring parents and guardians of participating students and volunteer teachers together to discuss the crisis in the education sector and the way forward. </span></span></div>

</ul>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">PRESS STATEMENT</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The chaos ridden public education sector in Ogun state, especially the tertiary institutions came to a head recently at the College of Health Technology, Ilese, Ijebu, where the new leadership of the local chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), who assumed office on March 15<sup>th</sup>, 2018, are currently under suspension. The leadership are now being hunted like games. Curiously, the suspension of the chapter was announced by the national leadership of ASUP, and its duties ceded to the zonal branch. This is the culmination of orchestrated vicious attacks by the management of the college. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">These attacks are the direct results of the legitimate demands of the local chapter of ASUP, which entail daring to criticize the undemocratic management and lack of openness in the affairs of the College by the Provost, Abiodun Oladunjoye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The union had demanded adequate funding of the institution, prompt payment of salaries and payment of all outstanding allowances and arrears, improved learning environment for students, and better working and living conditions for the workers. But rather than dialogue, the provost resulted to witch-hunt, intimidation, harassment, blackmail, victimization and even sack.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns these attacks in its entirety and demands an immediate end to all forms of victimization in the college. We demand a restoration of the leadership of ASUP in the college and challenge ASUP national leadership to support the struggle of their members in the college. We also call for all the legitimate demands of the academic staff union in the college to be immediately met. We also demand an independent panel of enquiry instituted to investigate the activities of the provost as well as allegation of fraudulent conducts, highhandedness and wanton victimization of staffs leveled against the provost.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">THE REAL REASON FOR THE ATTACKS?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Before the crisis degenerated to this worrisome state, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) had written a petition to the governor and commissioner of education, complaining and alleging among others: that the Provost has exceeded and exhausted his statutory length of service, which expires after 35 years in service, but has spent over 40 years and still running, plus overstaying the 65/70 years mandatory retirement age for academics; that the Ph.D. certificate obtained and presented by the provost is false, alleging that he obtained the degree in a questionable circumstance. Aside that the Ph.D. being non-academic, it was awarded via an online business school program of spurious Irish origin. The promotion and conversion of executive cadres to officer’s cadres and instructors to lecturers, have been stalled for many years by the provost, despite strident calls by the union on the provost to do the needful. Yet while casual workers who have spent over 10 years working in the college are denied regularization and confirmations, the Provost routinely and surreptitiously employs his cronies as staff, over the head of the casuals. Lastly, that the Provost allows some of his friends like Mr. Adelaja (Bobby), to whom he contracted the clearing of grass within the school, access to sensitive staff’s files and students’ exam records.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">These allegations precipitated the constitution of a 5-man visitation panel by the state government, who visited the college on May 14, 2018. Members of the academic and non-academic staff were invited by the panel for questioning, and they all made oral presentations. Interestingly when the panel’s report was out, only the Provost allegedly got a copy. He subsequently launched attacks on the staff, dismissing four workers, and demanded that the staff, both academic and non-academic, pay between 5,000 – 70,000 naira for certificate verifications.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The protest that greeted the dismissal of the staff which the provost claimed was authorized by the state government led to the recall of the dismissed workers. There is a palpable fear in the college currently, occasioned by the provost’s threats, harassment, persecution, and victimization of perceived and imagined enemies among the staff, and the government is looking the other way, at best staying aloof. This lackluster, insensitive and callous attitudes of the government is not surprising, it only serves to bolster its pro-rich social economic objectives on education, through privatization and commercialization, by decapitating dissidents who stand to defend workers’ rights and oppose the policies of wholesale commodification of education to highest bidders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Conclusively, ERC calls on all labour unions in education sector in Ogun State (ASUU, ASUP, NASU, NUT) as well as students’ unions, NLC and TUC to organize various solidarity actions in support of the staffs of College of Health Technology. These solidarity actions which should include protest letters, press conference and protest march will help force the management of college of health technology and the government to end the ongoing attacks. The protest actions should be equally used to demand adequate funding of public schools by the government and democratic management of schools with involvement of elected representatives of staffs and students in all decision making bodies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">GOVERNOR AMOSU IS CULPABLE!</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">ERC is quick to add that, the APC- led government of Ibikunle Amosu is no less culpable. We note that the anti-poor policies being implemented across sectors, by this government including in education are solely responsible for this chaotic state of public education, and the consequent intractable crisis rearing ugly heads across the various schools (primary, secondary and tertiary) in the State. This government like its predecessors has abdicated it responsibilities of adequately funding of public schools. The norms now, especially in the tertiary institutions is to “look inward and be creative”- a euphemism for commercialization of public schools to augment/replace the measly subvention if any, from the government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This profit first motive and pro-rich orientation of this government, demonstrated by wholesale commercialization and privatization of the education sector, under guise of paucity of fund, equally led to this government handing over public secondary schools to missionaries, who were then adequately compensated, claiming they are the original owners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We recall that governments took over these schools decades ago in a quest to provide and guaranteed, accessible, free and quality education to the mass majority of the children of the poor working parents and guardians, against the elitist and exorbitant education being offered by the missionary then. Today, access to free and quality education is extremely difficult for the children of the poor and working class background due to the anti-people policies of this government, geared towards profits for a few individuals, against the needs of the collectives. The high fees now charged by these “private missionary” schools, not to mention the poor remunerations of the hard working exploited teachers bear witness to this fact. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">THE ENTIRE EDUCATION SECTOR IN OGUN STATE IS IN CRISIS</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s trite to say that inadequate funding of the education sector has engendered various ills now bedeviling and crippling smooth running of tertiary schools in Ogun state. This manifests in sad and sorry tales of decrepit and dilapidated structures, inadequate and poorly furnished classrooms, lack of funding for research and development, unpaid salaries, earned allowances and arrears, obsolete books and journals cohabiting the library that lacks internet facility etc. The lists are legion! From Ago Iwoye to Ijagun, Ijeja to Ojere, Omu to Igbesa, the sordid state of these schools are the same. OOUTH, the state owned teaching hospital at Sagamu lacks basic drugs to treat common diseases, left alone drinkable water, and medical workers at the college suffering under unpaid salaries and deductions! Not to mention college of health tech Ilese, where common road network within the campus remain in precolonial state-bush paths. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">At the primary Schools level, things have not fared better. Though government retains ownership of the majority schools, funding remains extremely poor and inadequate, and pupils are charged one form of fees or the other, notwithstanding the touted free education program, so as to retain some semblance of learning in those schools, with dilapidated and collapsed classrooms, compelling the pupils often than not, to learn under the trees! Even teachers in most of these schools lack offices, and usually stay under tree shade after lesson hours! Apakila primary school in Odeda local government and many others are examples! Attempts at seeking improvement by Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have often been met with various forms of attacks. A case in point is the dismissal of some of the members and leadership of the NUT by the Amosu-led government accusing them of engaging in opposition politics, for organizing events to mark World Teachers Day in the state, two years ago. These sacked teachers were later recalled after the uproars and protests that greeted the illegal action. The leadership were not that lucky. Their sacks were commuted to compulsory retirement. In fact, one of the union leaders, Com. Akeem Ambali, the state chairman of the NLC, is still in court seeking redress till date, with no end in sight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">These attacks bordering on high handedness and underfunding, are not mutually exclusive, rather, they are links in the same chain of the crisis in education sector in Ogun State, and the Amosu-led government avowed intolerance to criticisms by labor unions, resulting into attacks on democratic rights of workers’- an hallmark of an unpopular government with its anti-poor policies, hell bent on pushing down the rough shod over the popular aspirations of the poor working majority.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">URGENT NEED FOR MASS STRUGGLE AND POLITICAL ALTERNATIVE</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The ERC calls for a statewide campaign involving all education workers unions and the students’ movement to begin to fightback. However to achieving permanent victory, this campaign and struggle must be linked with the need to overthrow capitalism- the bane of all social, economic, and political advancement and progress, through a working class political alternative party with socialist programs. The Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN) represents a step in this direction. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We call on workers, and their trade unions to gravitate towards this party and become a card carrying member, and building same in their various communities, with the longtime goal of wrestling political power from all these pro-rich capitalist political parties, represented by APC, PDP, etc<s>.</s> Our ultimate goal must be to defeat capitalism, and ultimately entrench a planned economy, through the nationalization of all public and private corps including the banks and multinational oil corporations placing them under the democratic management and control of workers, thereby liberating resources for investments in all sectors to guarantee the needs of all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;">On Monday 23 July, 2018 at Nawair UD Deen Primary School, Education Rights Campaign (ERC) kick started the 13th edition of the annual Free Coaching <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that was initiated in 2005 in the Ajegunle community, one of the poorest communities in Nigeria. The free coaching is expected to run for six weeks for students in SS1, SS2 and SS3<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;">Since the kick off in the opening ceremony of the exercise, more than 100 students from both public and private schools within and outside the community have attended exercise. In addition, volunteer teachers are also coming down to teach subjects like Mathematics, English Language, Biology and other related Science, Art and Commercial subjects. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;">Remarkably, some of the volunteer teachers who were once beneficiaries of the ERC Free Coaching Lesson in the past, are now graduates from various Universities.. Parents within the community are also coming down to enquire more about the lesson. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;">For majority of the parents coming down to enquire, it is unbelievable hearing students attend free tutorial centre without payment. For them, it is not possible. The ERC, which campaigns for adequate funding of education, organizes the free coaching to demonstrate that free and quality education is possible </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;">This exercise also helps to engage young people especially students from poor and working class background who are unable to pay higher tutorial fee in any of the private organized respective Tutorial Centres in the community. This is more important at this period when youth restiveness with associated social tensions is on the rise in Ajegunle.</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) strongly condemns the plan of the Prof. Fagbohun-led management of the Lagos State University (LASU) to victimize to the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) LASU, comrades Tony Dansu (PhD) and Adeolu Oyekan (PhD) respectively, over a letter the union wrote to the Governing Council demanding investigation into activities of the former Registrar of the University, Akinwunmi Oladapo Lewis including the circumstances surrounding the illegal backdating of the promotion of then Dr. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun to the position of Professor of Public Law. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The queries issued to the two union leaders purportedly accused the duo of illegitimately sourcing the document attached to the petition to the Governing Council. The ERC strongly rejects this allegation as frivolous and malicious attempt to divert attention from the allegation against the former Registrar, Akinwunmi Oladapo Lewis, for unilaterally backdating the promotion of then Dr. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun which the Governing Council is yet to investigate despite the insistence and litany of evidence already provided by the union. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">We demand the immediate withdrawal of the queries and a halt to any sinister plot to victimize comrades Tony Dansu and Adeolu Oyebode. We call for an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the allegation of unlawful backdating of the promotion of then Dr. Olanrewaju Fagbohun to the position of Professor of Public Law. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">From the facts available to us, the Governing Council of the Lagos State University promoted the then Dr. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun to professor with effect from 7th May 2014 but the former Registrar of the University, Akinwunmi Oladapo Lewis unilaterally backdated<span> </span>it to October 2008. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">That rather than cause an investigation into this weighty allegation, the university management decided to go after the whistleblowers by querying both leaders of ASUU LASU on frivolous allegation of illegitimately sourcing documents is not only worrisome but a clear indication of the nascent dictatorship growing under the leadership of Prof. Fagbohun.<span> </span>The agenda is to slam a criminal allegation of theft on the duo in order to pave the way for their dismissal and prosecution and by so doing covering up the substantive allegation of illegal backdating of the promotion. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">This is nothing but executive rascality by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun whose promotion to Professor of Public Law is what is at stake here. The then Dr. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun whose promotion was backdated is today’s Prof. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun - the Vice chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU). As a beneficiary of the fraud already established by ASUU in its petitions to the Governing Council, Prof. Fagbohun knows that a diligent investigation of the allegations could affect his vital interest and that is why he is going after the leadership of the union. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">However, this crude attempt to cover up the allegations against the former Registrar by intimidating ASUU LASU and its leaders is not new. This has been the pattern of reaction of the Prof. Fagbohun-led administration each time ASUU LASU had petitioned against the several instances of fraud, malfeasance and impunity in the system. Another pattern that is once again established in the current development is the repeated use of false and contrived criminal charges against union leaders in order to dismiss them and also commit them to prison. The public can recall how the Chairman and Vice Chairman of ASUU LASU, Dr. Isaac Oyewumi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu respectively, were similarly accused albeit falsely of bribe-taking and unilaterally upgrading students’ results. During that incident, the ERC argued strongly that not only were the allegations false but that the agenda was simply to criminalize these union leaders in order to send them out of the campus so that they cannot continue to oppose the illegal appointments, brazen violation of University rules and impunity of the Prof. Fagbohun-led University administration. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Now once again, the Prof. Fagbohun-led administration is planning to achieve the same result by criminalizing the duo of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of ASUU LASU in order to dismiss them and bar them from the campus. This is because since the duo of the Chairman and Vice Chairman were dismissed, the Secretary and Assistant Secretary have continued to lead the union to oppose the bad policies of the management while diligently exposing malfeasance and impunity in the system to the chagrin of the University management. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">This time around the agenda is that once the duo of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary are out of the way, the union can then be taken over by the cronies of Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun so that the administration’s anti-people policies can be implemented without any resistance. One of these anti-people policies which the Visitor to the University, Akinwunmi Ambode, the Executive Governor of Lagos State, still has in the offing is increment in the fees of the University. A strong ASUU is therefore a cog in the wheel they would rather get out of the way. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The ERC urge students, parents, alumni, the entire labour movement and members of the public to intervene as soon as possible in the development in LASU before it becomes a crisis. We shall continue to call on the public to intervene because as far as we are concerned, LASU is a public institution funded by tax payers’ money and therefore the public must have a say in its affairs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">On the occasion of this year’s “Day of the African Child” celebration which is marked every year since 1991 on June 16, the Education Rights Campaign (ERC) calls for improved funding and provision of free, functional and democratically-managed public education at all levels and respect of democratic rights in all education institutions as the only way to ensure Nigeria’s teeming youth population is not left behind.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">We declare the paltry allocation to education in the 2018 budget at both federal and state levels a betrayal of Nigeria’s children and youth and demand immediate upward review of the budget to ensure that public education receives nothing less than 26% allocation as recommended by UNESCO.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">But without respect of democratic rights, freedom of speech and association, the goal of education will not be achieved. This is why the ERC also use this occasion to demand the immediate and unconditional reinstatement of all politically victimized students in tertiary institutions across Nigeria particularly Omole Ibukun and others at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Kunle Adebajo of the University of Ibadan who was suspended for writing an article on facebook etc. We also demand restoration of banned students and workers unions, a firm policy against sexism and respect of democratic rights on campuses.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">June 16, 2018 also marks the 42nd year anniversary of the notorious SOWETO massacre of June 16, 1976, when school students were gunned down by the repressive South Africa's apartheid regime. The Education Rights Campaign commemorates this historic event, especially because it contains great lessons for Nigeria.</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">The tragic consequences of anti-poor capitalist policies of governments at all levels have made Nigeria one of the worst places to be a child. A huge layer of Nigeria’s population is under the age of 25 yet there is no provision for expansion of public education. Primary and secondary schools are overcrowded without adequate teachers, facilities and instructional materials. Not surprising therefore that Nigeria accounts for the largest number of out of school children globally with around 10.5 million children out of school. The pro-establishment education policies of the Buhari/APC regime and state governments controlled by APC, PDP and APGA have seen school fees increased as education, more than never before, is being priced out of the reach of poorly paid parents. Instead of protesting the underfunding of education, managements of schools have resorted to squeezing dry the pockets of poor Nigerians. Students who witnessed their colleagues dropping out of school due to previous increments have taken to protesting these inconsiderate policies of education administrators but they have been met by brutal repression.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Take for example, at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Omole Ibukun (the national secretary of the Education Rights Campaign) and three other student leaders have been placed on suspension over spurious charges, which were leveled against them due to the radical roles they played in the struggles of students on that campus. The Students' Union on the campus was equally banned. Following this gross abuse of human and democratic rights of students, the management of the institution has intensified its anti-students' policies – around 70% of the student population were recently evicted from the University hostels without any plan to expand the hostel facilities on the campus.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">OAU is not alone in this culture of repression among school authorities. When the University of Ibadan increased hostel fees earlier this year from N14,000 to as much as N40, 000, the authorities responded to the protest of the medical students that this policy affected by closing down its college of medicine. Couple of days ago, the same management suspended a student journalist, Kunle Adebajo, for an article he wrote as far back as 2016 which was critical of the policies of the university. Managements of schools are apparently united in stamping out dissent on campuses and rendering impotent the student unions that should be acting as a traditional platforms for advancing the interests of Nigerian students.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">There is no end in sight to the implementation of anti-student policies on campuses. This means that the attendant victimization of students and banning of unions equally have no end in sight. This is why Nigerian students should learn from the heroic deeds of South African students who shook the foundation of apartheid in 1976, and effectively inducted a new generation of young people into the anti-apartheid struggle.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">We hereby call on Nigerian students to form a united platform of struggle, and link together the isolated struggle on campuses, with demands for immediate halt to increments, and reversals of recent increments in fees, including demands for immediate reinstatement of victimized students and unbanning of students' unions. Just as the workers of South Africa supported the 1976 Soweto uprising, education workers' unions like ASUU and NASU as well as the wider labour movement should support the struggle of students against undemocratic attacks and for upward funding and democratic management of the education sector.</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) strongly condemns the repression of protesting students of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba Akoko (AAUA) by armed policemen on the orders of the Ondo state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu. The students were peacefully protesting against astronomical hike in school fees when policemen descended on them shooting live bullets and tear gas sporadically. On Monday 9 April 2018, a student was shot in the leg. Equally on Wednesday 11 April 2018, the peaceful protest was again attacked and several students were arrested by the police.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">We condemn this mindless repression and demands the immediate and unconditional release of all those arrested. We also call for the immediate sack of the Commissioner of Police in Ondo state for carrying out such mindless and vicious attacks on students peacefully protesting against a fee hike that if allowed to succeed would cut shut their dream of receiving University education.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">We hereby join students to demand an immediate and unconditional reversal of the hiked fees as well as increase in the subvention of AAUA and other state-owned tertiary institutions. As far as we are concerned the fee hike from about 35, 000 to about N200, 000 is anti-poor and unacceptable. Especially given the already dire</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 14.95px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">economic situation whereby workers and artisans are struggling to keep their heads above water, this hike will lead to massive dropout of indigent students. If this happens, the jobs of academic and non-academic staff will be threatened. This was the scenario that played out at the Lagos State University (LASU) within the three years that an astronomical fee hike regime was sustained.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 14.95px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">On this basis, we therefore urge members of staff of AAUA not to be hoodwinked or cajoled to support the fee hike in the expectation that it would ensure that workers’ salaries are paid as at when due. Now workers of the institution are being owed backlog of salary and allowances spanning months. But if the astronomical fee hike is allowed, very soon hundreds of academic and non-academic staff will lose their jobs on the basis of decline in students’ population. Therefore instead of supporting the increment, we urge ASUU AAUA, SSANU AAUA, NASU AAUA and NAAT AAUA to join students to resist the increment and demand increase in the subvention to the institution.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">The argument of the University’s governing council that it is cash-trapped and therefore must increase fees is unacceptable. Where is the evidence? Except concocted figures on facebook, the university has not backed this claim with any serious evidence. We therefore demand that a full statement of the University’s finances be published and that an independent panel made of elected representatives of staff unions, students unions, alumni body and other stakeholders be constituted to probe how the University’s finances has been managed or mismanaged in the last 10 years.</span></span></div>

</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) strongly condemns the siege laid by the police on the Secretariat of the Ikeja branch of the NBA with a view to arrest the chairman of the group and intimidate the NBA and Civil society organisations from going on with their planned protest against the anti-poor Lagos land use charge law 2018 scheduled to take place tomor<span class="textexposedshow">row Thursday March 29, 2018. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="textexposedshow">This action of the police is undemocratic and tyrannical. Its constitute harrassment of innocent citizens reminiscent of the dark days of military rule. We hereby call for immediate lift of the siege and the recognition of the rights of Nigerians to protest any anti-poor policy. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="textexposedshow">We condemn the statement issued by the Lagos state police commissioner where he justified the illegal action of the police on the basis of the need to ensure that the security of President Buhari who is scheduled to visit Lagos tomorrow is not jeopardized on account of the NBA protest. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="textexposedshow">While as law-abiding citizens we understand the need to ensure maximum security for the president even though poor Nigerians live in conditions of daily insecurity, we beg to disagree that the protest of the NBA scheduled much before the president visit was announced can cause a breach of security. We ask: how can the protest of the NBA and CSOs jeopardize the president's security when the State govt and the APC are planning to bus in thousands of people from all around Lagos and other APC-governed states in the South west and beyond to stage street rallies and processions tomorrow as part of the programmes to welcome President Buhari? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="textexposedshow">If the police wants to be fair, then it is not only the NBA protest that would be stopped tomorrow, other rallies and processions being planned for tomorrow to welcome the president would have to be stopped also for the same reasons. We think the police excuses are weak and unacceptable. We hereby demand that the police recognise the democratic right of Nigerians to protest against anti-poor policies, lift the siege on the NBA, halt any plan to arrest NBA and CSO leaders and allow the planned peaceful protest against Land use charge law 2018 to go on tomorrow without hindrance.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Repression at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile Ife has taken a new turn with the arrest of five (5) students activist and their remand in prison custody for protesting against forceful eviction of students from their hostels. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The five (5) student activists are: Gbenga Oloninikan (Chairman, Great Ife Students Union Action Committee), Oyedeji Samson, Jimoh Oladipupo, Adeniji John and Olajide Ademola. They are members of an Action committee formed at a congress and composed by representatives of left organizations (including the DSM) and radical students which has been acting in the absence of a union to organize students to resist attacks.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The students were arrested on Wednesday 21 March 2018 while protesting against attempts by the authorities of the University to forcefully evict from hostels students who stayed back on campus during the break to undergo Teaching practice and Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). They have been remanded at the medium security prison, Kosere Ile-Ife, after appearing before Hon. Magistrate F.1 Omisade of Magistrate court Ife today Thursday 22 march 2018.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But their travail is actually part of a long process of orchestrated assault on the fundamental rights of students by the despotic Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Ogunmodede and members of his kitchen cabinet who are hell bent on silencing dissent voices on the campus. So far, several students who have either spoken out against fee hike or participated in protest actions over bad welfare conditions have been suspended. In 2017, ERC National Secretary Omole Ibukun and other student activists were suspended and the Students Union banned following a students’ protest against poor welfare conditions. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We call for protest letters and messages to condemn the arrest and demand the immediate release of the five students. The letters should also demand the unconditional reinstatement of the ERC National Secretary, Omole Ibukun and all victimized students activists of the University, restoration of the proscribed students union and a halt to all attacks on democratic rights.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The five (5) students were arraigned on trumped up 3-count charges (misdemeanor, breach of peace and assault) today Thursday 22 March 2018 before Hon. Magistrate F.I. Omisade of the Magistrate court Ife who remanded them in prison after granting them bail with onerous conditions attached including two (2) sureties on grade level 14 with five hundred thousand naira (N500, 000) bail bond each. These onerous conditions are meant to keep them in prison for as long as possible. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The conditions are also disproportionate to the charges levelled against these five students and show to what extent the police and the judiciary in Osun State have been seriously compromised by the OAU authorities in its bid to ensure that these five activists are kept behind bars. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is not new. The OAU authorities has a history of using the police and the court to clamp students and workers leaders in prison on trumped up charges. A few weeks ago, the chairman of the University’s branch of the Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) was arrested and treated in the same manner for enforcing a national strike of the union for payment of earned allowance.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The arrest and detention of the five (5) student activists bring to a turning point the litany of attacks on democratic rights in the University. If the public does not act now, Prof. Ogunmodede will turn OAU into a slave camp. We call on staff unions, labour movement, students unions, civil society organizations and members of the public to call University authorities to order and to demand:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;"><b>T</b>he Education Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns the abduction of 110 school girls by the Boko-Haram terrorist group at the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State on February 19, 2018.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">The ERC demands the immediate rescue of these young schoolgirls safe and unharmed. We also demand the rescue of the remaining 113 Chibok girls as well as several other persons including young school boys and women in Boko Haram Militants captivity. Apart from the Dapchi girls, several mass abductions of both girls and boys have occurred in the North East since 2009 with little or no media coverage. Infact in 2014, 58 male students of Federal Government College Buni Yadi in Yobe State were slaughtered in cold blood by the Boko Haram militants for receiving “Western education”.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">For us in the ERC, all lives matter. This is why we demand that alongside the Dapchi and Chibok girls, all other victims of mass abduction must be rescued and reunited with their families. Just as it has been done in the case of Chibok and now Dapchi, we demand a list of all people who are missing or abducted by Boko Haram in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno states and a coordinated effort by security agencies to rescue them within the shortest possible time.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">As far as we are concerned, the Dapchi abduction is one that should not have happened. We hereby demand a public probe comprising representatives of the labour movement, communities in the North East and civil society to probe the Safe School Initiative launched by former President Jonathan and former UK prime minister and of UN envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown in the aftermath of the Chibok mass abduction in 2014. This initiative which attracted donor funding worth millions of dollars was meant, among other things, to provide security and fortifications for schools in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno in order to prevent a repeat of the Chibok mass abductions. We need such a public probe to determine just how much security and fortification the Government Girls Science and Technical College in Dapchi had and whether or not the huge funds donated to the Safe schools initiative are not being stolen just as we have seen with the misappropriation of funds meant for Internal Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">Approximately four years after the Chibok Schoolgirl abduction, without bringing the perpetrators to justice, without recovering all the girls, and with huge sum of money paid as ransom to the terrorists, it is a total shame that the Nigerian Government still cannot secure the lives of Nigerians including young school girls and boys.<br />A central responsibility and cardinal objective of government is protection of lives and property. The government cannot declare any victory over the Boko haram insurgency when this cardinal objective continue to remain elusive. No matter how many times Boko haram is declared defeated, the only way citizens will only begin to feel any sense of relief if they can feel safe and secured to pursue their daily bread without threat of being killed by a suicide bomb or their children abducted from schools.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">We consider this kidnapping as not just a setback for girl-child education but for education generally. It must agitate the minds of Nigerians that these girls are probably going through dehumanizing rape, sold off as sex slaves, going through forced marriages, violent assaults or different forms of emotional, psychological, sexual or physical abuse in the hands of these terrorists. We recommend a financial compensation by the government to support these grieving parents and a total health rehabilitation for these girls upon their recovery from the terrorists.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">To make up for the setback that Boko Haram attacks and mass abductions has inflicted on girl-child education, the Education Rights Campaign (ERC) demand increase in the funding of the education sector, rapid expansion of education facilities in the North East and all parts of the country, adequate protection for school infrastructures, students, teachers and other education workers and a total reversal of commercialization and all anti-poor education policies. Without improving funding to education and halting all anti-poor education policies, the Buhari government will be helping Boko Haram to complete its campaign against formal education in general and girl-child education in particular.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 12.0pt;">As far as we are concerned, Nigeria has enough resources to provide free, functional and democratically managed public education at all levels. The only problem is capitalism which means the much of Nigeria’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. The only way to tackle this in order to ensure that resources are freed to provide free education is to place the key sectors of Nigeria’s economy under public democratic control and management alongside with a socialist plan.</span></span></div>

both the academic and administrative activities in the college was authored Dr
Babajide Adelekan, the provost of the college, on August 20, 2017 when he shut
down the college </span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520449652654_16156" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">in fear of the planed students’ protest against poor
learning and living condition on campus. It was this arbitrary and unilateral
closure of the college that fueled the indefinite industrial action embarked
upon by the entire workers unions in the college under a joint platform dubbed
Joint Action committee, JAC. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">

by mass of students and the leadership of the students’ union in the college
are quite commendable, so also are members and leadership of the three workers
unions in the college. But beyond this commendation is also a need to
appreciate and salute the understanding of mass of workers in the college for
their decision to eventually suspend the over 6months industrial deadlock
mainly in the interest of mass of poor and innocent students.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

activities in the college have fully resumed since February 26, 2018, the poor
condition of working and living of both workers and students that formed the
background for the industrial crisis that lingered for over 6months is yet to
be resolved. Electricity supplies both in the hostel, workers offices including
laboratory continue to be epileptic as ever. There has not been </span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520449652654_16184" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">adequate
supply of water in halls of residence and offices. Provision of items like
identity cards, log books, lab and farm coats which students were forced to pay
for are yet to be given to them while many course are yet to be accredited in

condition under which both the academic and administrative activities have
commenced in the college that ERC calls on both students and workers unions in
the college to insist on a conducive atmosphere of learning and working before
the school examination scheduled for the first week in April commences. ERC
suggest that a meeting of the leadership of workers and students with the
college administration will be necessary in this regard for an adequate
presentation of both the demands of students and workers in the college.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">However,
ERC equally urges both the leadership of students and workers union not to lose
sight in calling a prior and independent congress of their respective unions so
as to have a full compilation of all areas of needs of workers and students
towards an elaborate presentation before the college administration.</span></span></div>

Federal Ministry of Agriculture had recently issued query letters to the
leadership of the three staff<span> </span>unions in
the college for carrying out and defending<span>
</span>the democratic and collective decision of their members throughout the
course of the over 6month industrial deadlock in the college.<span> </span>ERC condemns the action of the ministry and
demands immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the said query letters. Such
query letter is undemocratic and unwarranted as it capable to plunge the
college to another round of avoidable industrial crisis.</span></span></div>

industrial dispute in the college at this material point in time will no doubt
be inimical and detrimental to mass of students in the college. It is with a
view to avert this that ERC calls on the leadership of the Students’ Union to

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">According to Comrade Olaolu, the crisis started on the 22<sup>nd</sup>
of august 2017 when the student union held a congress during which it was
resolved that a student peaceful protest must be organized against the continuous
failure to give students some items like practical coats, identity cards, which
student have actually paid for. Other welfare and academic related issues
like poor electricity supply, water supply and non -accreditation of some
courses within the college are among the basis for the protest. Olalu lamented
against the response of the administration of the college that arbitrarily shut
down the college even before student ever embarked on the protest itself.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> This kind of attitude was described as autocratic mode of
leadership in the college and was identified among other factors like lack of
communication between the management, students and members of staff were
mentioned as the major cause of the crisis in the college. He therefore
submitted while recommended that federal ministry of Agriculture must give a
priority to regular monitoring of the activities in the college.</span></span></div>

the Polytechnic, ASUP, FCAIB branch while given his solidarity speech commended
members of DSM and ERC for organizing the symposium which he opined was timely
and serves as an opportunity for both students and members of staffs to come
together and discuss with a view for them to know their rights as stakeholders
in the educational sector. He also expressed his sympathy to the FCA students
who were the major victims of the lingering industrial crisis in the college
and therefore advised that students should always seek to know their right, He
submitted while insisting that except student know their rights they will find
it difficult to know what to stand for in the course of their political
struggle.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">The discussion was further enriched by the presentation of Comrade
Oladeinde, the Chairman IAR&t chapter who spoke on the topic crisis in the
educational sector: causes and way forward. He cited underfunding of the
education sector, poor resource management, corruption, non implementation of
agreement by management team, politicization of the education sector and
unstable staffing system as the major crisis bedeviling the educational sector
of Nigeria. He therefore recommended in his submission adequate funding of the
education sector, admission of students into tertiary institution based on
merit, proper governance of colleges, training and retraining of staffs and
collective bargains as some of the way to overcome some of the identified
crisis in the education sector. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Abbey Trotsky in his presentation was able to establish the fact
that the ongoing crisis in FCAIB is a classic example of the crisis bedeviling
education sector in the country. He simplifies the cause of the crisis in the
education sector to that of government underfunding syndrome and corruption in
the educational institutions. He gave highlights of how successive
government at all level across the country including the Buhari/APC-led federal
government has failed to comply with the UNESCO recommendation which says
that no developing nation like Nigeria must vote less than 26% of yearly
budgetary allocation on education.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">He also lamented against corruption in education sector which he
explained was the reason the the little resources often made available to
administration of many institution in education sector have failed to translate
to an improvement in both the learning and working condition of both the staff
and students. Therefore, he recommended, a democratic management and control of the
education sector by a committee of the elected representative of students and
members of staff as the only way the prevailing corruption in the education sector
can be curbed.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">He however, noted that not until when capitalism system of
exploitation that often encourage corruption in education sector itself is
defeated and replaced with socialism which is a system of running the society
in the interest of majority against the profit interest of the few, the
question of running education institution by the elected representative of the
student and workers will continue to be impossible. It in the light of this, he
encourage participants especially students to join ERC and DSM towards building
a forces for revolution which is an inevitable stage to enthrone socialist
order in the society. A brief highlight of the historical success recorded by
DSM in registering a Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN) was also mentioned while
making his submission.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">The highpoint of the symposium was when the floor was opened for
comments and contributions. Among those who contributed was a Comrade Ojo, a
parent and member of CDWR from the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, CRIN,
Ibadan. She expressed her displeasure over the state of things in the college
of animal health and production technology: the exuberant fee being paid by
students and yet nothing to show for it. She therefore encouraged the Students
Union not to compromise its historical responsibility to always stand and
defend both the economic and political right of student in the institutions.
This was buttressed by Comrade Daniel, a supporter of ERC who also charged the
incoming Union executive to be ideological and to put the interest of the
students’ populace above their personal interest. </span></span></div>

female student and Kehinde Olumide. They both encouraged members of the
ERC not to relent on the struggle for a better society. The decision to form
SPN was equally commended but also charged the leadership to ensure that such a
party is encouraged to be built on campus.</span></span></div>

branch. At the end of the symposium, 16 persons who signed to join the ERC/DSM
participated in short meeting organized to review the programme itself.</span></span></div>

strike started in December 2017, the federal government has largely ignored the
unions. In fact, the President Buhari government has been insensitive to the
demands of the striking unions and the plight of students who have been
subjected to terrible living and studying conditions as a result of the
stoppage of essential services like water and electricity supply to classrooms,
libraries, laboratories, offices and hostels as well as waste disposal due to
the strike action. </span></span></span></div>

believe that every worker has the right to his or her wages and associated

stands with SSANU, NASU and NAAT in their struggle. For far too long,
successive anti-poor governments have treated non-academic workers with
disdain. However, this is not to mean that academic workers are treated
any better. Meanwhile, without non-academic workers, no university or any
institution can function. We therefore urge SSANU, NASU and NAAT to escalate
the strike by organizing nationwide mass protests and demonstrations. This is
essential to build public support for the strike and pile pressure on the
government. </span></span></span></div>

strike actions in the university linger, students are faced with many
challenges on campus. The withdrawal of services by the unions translates to
shut down of electricity, water and many other essential services provided by
the non-teaching staff. At the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) for instance,
students had to write their examinations in a sorry state with no electricity
to read in the hostels and many other unbearable circumstances. Many had to
depend for weeks on water scooped from surrounding streams. This was aside the
mountain of refuse that piled up on every inch of the campus as a result of the
withdrawal of service by workers who carry out these functions in compliance
with the strike. </span></span></span></div>

University of Lagos (UNILAG) the welfare conditions are getting worse. Students
hardly cook in their hostels as electricity and ordinary water are out of reach
of students. Most of the classrooms and laboratories are under lock and key.
Learning for students has never been this bad and yet the government of the day
is yet to attend to the burning issues. Many other campuses in the country face
similar issues and we in the ERC feels this is the right time we students takes

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC),
LASU Chapter, call on students and workers to unite in joint struggle to defend
their rights under Prof. Fagbohun-led university administration. We have every
reason to believe, going by series of happenings, that the Vice Chancellor,
Prof. Lanre Fagbohun is hell bent on returning LASU to its inglorious past when
impunity reigned supreme, the democratic rights of students and workers
routinely violated and fees hiked beyond what poor students could afford.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two recent developments confirm the
assertion above: (1) the recent increment of acceptance fee from N10, 000 to
N20, 000 and (2) the unlawful sack of Dr. Isaac Oyewumi and Dr. Adebowale
Adeyemi-Suenu (both Chairman and Vice Chairman of ASUU-LASU respectively and
victimization of other staff unions. These two developments coupled with the
University management's attempts to meddle in last LASUSU elections are not
accidental. They are part of the underground moves by the University management
to prepare the grounds for wholesale increment of fees at all levels and other
anti-poor policies. To achieve this, they want to either weaken or destroy all
unions on campus. Therefore unless students and workers unite and jointly
resist the Prof. Fagbohun administration, more attacks are in the offing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">INCREMENT OF ACCEPTANCE FEE</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The ERC strongly condemns increment in
acceptance fee from N10, 000 to N20, 000. The increment is unjustifiable
considering the pitiable conditions of the working masses who are the parents
and sponsors of students. We believe that the responsibility for the funding of
public education rest on the government. Any attempt to shift this
responsibility to poor parents must be resisted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lagos state has enormous resources,
which if judiciously managed, are enough to fund public education adequately.
We therefore charge students and workers unions (ASUU, NASU, SSANU and NAAT) to
reject this hike in acceptance fee and be prepared to resist it with peaceful
mass protests, demonstrations and strikes. We must also demand immediate refund
to all fresh students who may have paid. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nobody should be deceived into thinking
that this hike in acceptance fee will only affect new students. The truth is
that once this hike is accepted, the University will be emboldened to go for
further hike in fees across board. Remember that their goal, starting from
Tinubu administration to Fashola administration, is wholesale commercialization
of LASU by gradually shifting the burden of education funding on poor parents.
Only the mass struggle of 2014 stopped them in their tracks. So if we do not
struggle now, we may be opening a floodgate of extensive fee increase that will
return LASU to its unenviable position of the most expensive state university
in the country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">FOR AN EMERGENCY STUDENTS CONGRESS</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We applaud LASUSU for the directive to
halt the payment of acceptance fee, after series of agitations by students.
However, the students union should be tactical in their approach to the
struggle for the reversal. Their demand should not just be that hike in the
acceptance fee be reversed, they must also demand a refund to all fresh
students who may have paid. This is not impossible. When the astronomical fees
were reversed in 2014 by the Fashola administration after a tumultuous struggle,
students who had paid were refunded. With struggle all things are possible.
Emphatically, it is important to point it out that before the student union
leaders make any critical decision on behalf of all students it is
indispensable to always carry along the mass of students because the students
remain the gallant army of the union. Therefore, we at the ERC LASU Chapter
call on the union leaders to convene an EMERGENCY STUDENTS CONGRESS in order to
arm them with necessary information so that they can be properly involved in
the struggle to resist the hike in acceptance fee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, the union leaders should not be
bamboozled that the issue of acceptance fee do not affect members of the union,
that it only affects non-matriculated students who are simply her prospective
members. That itself is the more reason to struggle for them, to show them that
the union is capable of defending their interest eventually when they become
union members. Also it is part of the tradition of our union to solidarize with
other oppressed people and to fight their cause not to talk of our potential
members whom we have brothers and sisters amidst them. Infact our past union
leadership has records to show for this. We also call on students to be on the
neck of the union leadership to ensure the reversal is achievable because an
Injury to one is an injury to all. We must not wait until it affects us or be
carried away with the fact that it will not affect us.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED VICTIMISATION OF ASUU LASU
LEADERS</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the same vein, the ERC urge LASUITES
to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the witch-hunt and
politically-motivated victimization of leaders of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU LASU) and other unions at the Lagos State University (LASU).
The agenda of the Prof. Fagbohun administration is either to weaken or destroy
all unions so that its policies to increase fees at all levels and impose other
anti-poor policies can be implemented with little or no resistance. If the
management succeeds at destroying ASUU and other staff unions, very soon it
would pounce on LASUSU and destroy it as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Therefore all students and workers on
campus must be opposed to this victimization and demand the immediate and
unconditional recall of Dr. Isaac Oyewumi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu
(respectively Chairman and Vice Chairman of ASUU LASU). This dismissal is not
an effort to rid LASU of corruption and nepotism but a grand plot to cow the
unions on campus using dirty means including slamming on their leaders false allegations
in order to portray them as criminals. This is why the processes leading to the
dismissal of the union leaders were marred with irregularities and manipulation
which violates the very principles of natural justice. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This method of calling a dog a bad name
in order to hang it is not at all new. As the public would recall, this was
exactly the same manner Prof. Obafunwa (former LASU VC) orchestrated the
withdrawal of the PhD of the then ASUU Chairman, Dr. Adekunle Idris just
because ASUU was openly critical of his various undemocratic and anti-poor
policies including the fee hike which was imposed on students then. The crime
for which these union leaders are being victimized is their opposition to the
illegal appointments, brazen violation of University rules and impunity of the
Prof. Fagbohun administration. The truth is that Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Fagbohun wants to run the University like a military fortress where no voices
of dissent are welcomed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is why LASU is one of the most
militarized campuses anywhere in Nigeria with fully armed Campus marshals
patrolling round the campus, extorting and harassing students with impunity
under the pretext of enforcing a so-called dress code which is actually a crude
violation of the fundamental rights of students. The ERC opposes all these
undemocratic policies like dress code and demands the full demilitarization of
the campus. There must be a clear distinction between a military garrison and a
University campus!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We believe the sack of Dr. Isaac Oyewumi
and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu is politically-motivated and the allegations
are fabricated. However if the Prof. Fagbohun-led administration feels
confident that it really has genuine allegations against them, then the
University should submit itself to public scrutiny. As far as we are concerned,
LASU is a public institution funded by tax-payers money. Therefore when
controversies like this break out, the public has a right to know the truth.
This is why we again reiterate our demand for an independent panel of inquiry
composed of competent Nigerians and representatives of the labour movement,
professional groups, alumni association, parents and students to look into the
whole crises including the allegations and the processes leading to the
dismissal of two ASUU leaders as well as other cases of with-hunt and
politically-motivated victimization ongoing in the University. </span></div>

<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3138" style="font-size: 12pt;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) hereby solidarizes with the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of SSANU, NASU and NAAT over their on-going nationwide strike for payment of earned allowance. A worker has a right to his or her wages and associated allowances. Earned allowance which the non-academic staff unions are fighting for is their entitlement for services rendered to the universities and by extension Nigeria as whole. </span></div>

<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3142" style="font-size: 12pt;">On this basis, the Education Rights Campaign (ERC) calls on the FG to immediately meet with the demands of the striking unions by ensuring that all unions get the full entitlement of their members. We condemn in strong terms the university management and the FG for attacks on union leaders which has been observed in some quarters especially at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in order to sabotage their struggle to fight for better welfare for their members. We also call on JAC to ensure the strike is sustained until victory is won. Instead of a sit-at-home strike, we advise that side by side with the activities of the strike monitoring committees, public rallies, protests, symposium and leafleting should be regularly organized in order to build public support for the strike. </span></div>

<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3146" style="font-size: 12pt;">We urge the unions not to allow government’s agenda to sow division among them to come to pass. Only the FG has anything to gain from such a division. Rather than fight each other, university workers should unite to fight the root cause of the present crisis. The root cause is no doubt the fact that only a paltry and inadequate sum of N23billion was released by the Federal government to cater for the demands of all unions in federal universities for payment of backlog of earned allowance and earned academic allowances. The FG cannot claim to be oblivious of the exact amount required to pay the backlog of earned allowance to all non-academic staff in federal universities in the country. Yet, it released a paltry N23 billion with the hope that it will cause ill-feelings. The objective of FG’s agenda is no doubt to break the historical solidarity that has always existed among the unions in the University system so that workers will not be able to unite to jointly fight for improved funding of the education sector.</span></div>

<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3150" style="font-size: 12pt;">The best way to counter this agenda to sow division is for the striking unions to place before the federal government a bold demand for the immediate and unconditional payment of the backlog of earned allowance due to all members of the non-academic staff in federal universities. This is the demand alongside with a call for improved funding of education and democratic management of schools that SSANU, NASU and NAAT<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3151"> </span>should be putting forward and organizing mass protests and other actions around at the moment. </span></div>

<span id="yiv3463959483yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516545833520_3155" style="font-size: 12pt;">It is not an accident that while non-academic staff are groaning in pain because of their unpaid backlog of earned allowance, the Buhari government has just paid N280 million to a few past presidents as allowance for vehicles. This is another evidence that this is a government of the rich and corrupt. Now more than ever, we need a mass workers party that can ensure the coming to power of a government of workers and poor which armed with socialist programmes can ensure that Nigeria’s wealth is used to pay workers a living wage, provide free education health care, well-paid job for the jobless, houses for the homeless and a better life for all. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Education
Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the un-abating
witch-hunt and politically-motivated victimization of leaders of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU LASU) and other unions at the Lagos State
University (LASU) by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The attacks
directed at ASUU LASU in the past few months have been most vicious and the aim
is undoubtedly to destroy the soul of the union. At the moment, out of an
8-member executive of ASUU LASU, two (the Chairman and the Vice Chairman) have
been unlawfully dismissed, three others have been queried while plans are in
the works to victimize the remaining 3 officials as well as past executives.
This state of affairs is unacceptable and it is high time students, staff,
parents and Nigerians rose up to call Prof. Fagbohun to order.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Education
Rights Campaign (ERC) is opposed to the harassment, witch-hunt, victimization
and all attacks on democratic rights on-going in LASU. We demand the immediate
and unconditional recall of Dr. Isaac Oyewumi, Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu
(respectively Chairman and Vice Chairman of ASUU LASU) and all politically
victimized staff in LASU.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We also demand an independent panel of inquiry composed of
representatives of the labour movement, professional groups, alumni
association, parents and students to look into the whole crisis including the
allegations and the processes leading to the dismissal of two ASUU leaders, Dr.
Isaac Oyewumi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu as well as other cases of
with-hunt and politically-motivated victimization ongoing in the University.
This independent panel of inquiry is crucial now. Otherwise, the developing and
un-abating clampdown on unions and union leaders could throw LASU into another
needless and avoidable crisis.</span></b></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Recall that on
the 19th day of November 2017, the ERC issued a public statement demanding the
recall of the Chairman and Vice-chairman of ASUU LASU, Dr. Isaac Oyewumi and
Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu. Since then, the repression has gone from bad to
worse with the authorities employing the services of the police to harass,
intimidate, arrest and detain some of the victimized staff leaders. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Also the
General Secretary, Assistant General Secretary and Treasurer of ASUU LASU have
also been queried for allegedly maligning the image of the University. Whereas
what the trio have done to the consternation of Prof. Fagbohun and his kitchen
cabinet is to continue to stand by and campaign for the recall of their
victimized colleagues.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The crime for
which these union leaders are being victimized is their opposition to the
illegal appointments, brazen violation of University rules and impunity of the
University administration. The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Fagbohun, together with
his kitchen cabinet and following the autocratic tradition laid down by the
Obafunwa-led administration, wants to run the University like a military
barrack where no voices of dissent are tolerated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Unlike what the
Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, would have the public believe, the
dismissal is not an effort to rid LASU of corruption and nepotism but a grand
plot to cow the unions on campus using dirty means including slamming on their
leaders false allegations in order to portray them as criminals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is why the
processes leading to the dismissal of the union leaders were marred with
irregularities and manipulation in violation of the principles of natural
justice. Following their dismissal, the increasing use of police and other
security agencies to harass and intimidates the victimized staff and all those
who stand by them also shows that there is more to it than meets the eye.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This method of
calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it is not at all new. As the public
would recall, it was similar method of persecution of staff union leaders
together with anti-poor policies of fee hike which the previous administration
of Prof. Obafunwa embraced that threw LASU into needless crisis and turmoil
years ago. This was exactly the same manner Prof. Obafunwa orchestrated the
withdrawal of the PhD of the then ASUU Chairman, Dr. Adekunle Idris just
because ASUU was openly critical of his various undemocratic and anti-poor
policies including the fee hike which was imposed on students then. As it was
then, so it is now. The public should therefore not be surprised if the ongoing
repression is connected with a subterranean plan to increase fees in the
University.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Conclusively,
we call on well-meaning Nigerians, trade unions, human rights organizations,
alumni and other concerned groups to call on the Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun-led
University management not to throw LASU into another needless crisis and to
openly support the demand for an independent panel of enquiry on the

<span style="font-size: large;">Calls for an Independent Panel of Inquiry into the Allegations and
Processes Leading to the Dismissal of Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi and Dr.
Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu – respectively Chairman and Vice Chairman of
ASUU LASU</span></h1>
<h1 style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">PRESS STATEMENT</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">November 19, 2017</span></h1>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) condemns the recent
politically-motivated dismissal of the Chairman of the Lagos State
University (LASU) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi and his vice, Dr. Adebowale
Adeyemi-Suenu. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu, both
union leaders and lecturers in the University, were dismissed on
trumped-up charges bothering on extortion and alteration of results.
However, a careful examination of the allegations and in particular the
processes leading to their dismissal shows that the allegations are
unfounded and the panels merely worked, in a teleguided manner, towards a
predetermined agenda to dismiss them. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is not at all strange that shortly before their current ordeal
ASUU LASU including these two leaders had been at the forefront of
agitations against a series of illegal appointments and impunity of the
Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun-led management. The dismissal is nothing but
payback. The ERC hereby demands their immediate and unconditional recall
to their duty posts.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In addition, we call for an independent panel of inquiry composed of
competent Nigerians and representatives of the labour movement,
professional groups, alumni association, parents and students to look
into the allegations and the processes leading to the dismissal of the
two union leaders. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As far as we are concerned, LASU is a public institution funded by
tax-payers money. Therefore, when controversies like this break out, the
public has a right to seek to know the truth by means of an independent
inquiry.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Unlike what the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, would
have the public believe, the dismissal is not an effort to rid LASU of
corruption and nepotism but a grand plot to cow the unions on campus
using dirty means including slamming on their leaders false allegations
in order to portray them as criminals. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For instance, Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi was alleged to have
demanded, way-back in 2011/2012, and through a third party the sum of
N50, 000 from some students in order to process their results. On his
own part, Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu who until his dismissal was the
acting Head of the Department of History and International Studies was
accused of altering students' results. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In the case of the ASUU Chairman Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi, not only
was there no credible evidence against him, the so-called audio tape
recording presented at the panel by the principal witness, Dr. O.T.F
Abanikannda, was played only up to a certain point leaving out other
vital areas which confirm Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewumi's innocence of the
charge. Also, the petitioner was found to have graduated since 2013
while claiming before the panel in 2017 that Dr. Isaac Oyewumi had
prevented him from graduating. Similarly for ASUU LASU Vice Chairman,
Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu, he was allegedly found guilty of altering
students' results despite the evidence of staff members of the
department and hard evidences including minutes of departmental meetings
showing that every alteration for which he was being alleged were
discussed and approved by the entire department.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This method of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it is not at
all new. As the public would recall, it was similar method of
persecution of staff union leaders together with anti-poor policies of

including the fee hike which was imposed on students then.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We therefore call on well-meaning Nigerians, trade unions, human
rights organizations, alumni and other concerned groups to call on the
Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun-led University management not to throw LASU
into another needless crisis and to openly support the demand for an
independent panel of enquiry on the allegations against the ASUU
leaders. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">They should also urge the Prof. Fagbohun-led management to hands off
the unions by recalling the wrongly dismissed union leaders as well as
putting a halt to other attacks on the rights to freedom of expression
and association in LASU.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Education Rights
Campaign (ERC) strongly condemns the proposal of President Buhari-led Federal
Executive Council to allocate a paltry 7.04% of the 2018 budget to the
education sector. We hereby demand an upward review of the budgetary allocation
to education up to 26% as recommended by UNESCO, democratic management of
schools as well as the honoring of all agreements reached with unions in the
education sector.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There is no more doubt
that the Buhari-administration has only been paying lip service to the much
needed revitalization of this crucial, but ailing sector. We applaud the National
Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) and other groups for condemning the
budget but now is the time to move beyond talks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Now that the 2018
budget proposal is yet to be passed into law, there is a chance to win an
upward increase in the allocation to education if we fight. Between now and
January 2018, we have a chance to stamp our feet on the ground and demand that
government does what is right. This would require a series of mass actions like
lecture boycotts, strikes and protest marches across the country and up to the
gate of the National Assembly to compel the lawmakers to increase the
allocation to education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Therefore, we urge the
students unions, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), NAPS, NUT,
ASUU and other unions in the education sector not to fold their arms but to immediately
hold meetings of their organs and collectively call for mass actions involving
students, education workers, parents and members of the public. Such mass
actions which should take place on campuses must also move to the streets
nationwide and culminate in a mass occupation of the National Assembly as the
2018 budget proposals are being debated by lawmakers. Without doing this, the
public education sector will face serious challenges over the next one year as
a result of this paltry allocation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The 2018 budget
proposal, presented to the National Assembly on Tuesday, 7th November, indicates
that a meagre N605.8 billion is earmarked for the funding of the education
sector, in spite of the widely acknowledged crises bedeviling the sector. As
with previous budgets, the proposed allocation to the education sector is a far
cry from the 26% budgetary allocation to education as recommended by UNESCO for
developing countries like Nigeria. On the surface, there appears to be a
fractional increase in the education budget compared to the N550 billion
earmarked for the sector in the present 2017 budget. But as Premium Times of
8th November reported: “Although the N605 billion allocated to the sector this
year is higher in naira terms than the N550 billion allocated in 2017, there is
a decrease in percentage terms.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Against the backdrop of
collapse of public education in the country, the 2018 budget proposal, if
passed into law by the National Assembly, would further compound the problems
that students and education workers face on daily basis on account of
underfunding of public education. Already, managements of schools are
increasing fees astronomically, and the University of Benin is the latest
example in this regard. As experience has shown in schools where fees have been
astronomically increased, the policy of squeezing the pockets of parents dry in
order to run schools is indeed incapable of resuscitating moribund academic
facilities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The budget has equally
exposed the insincerity of government in respect of its promises to meet the
demands of education workers’ unions, especially ASUU, for upward funding of
the education sector. This means that the government would continue to grapple
with industrial actions by these unions in the coming year, if the national
assembly fails to rectify this error and sufficiently increase the budget to education.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Days after this budget
was submitted to the National Assembly, the President delivered another
academic talk on the problems with the nation’s education system at the
Education Summit of the Federal Executive Council. We find it completely deceitful
of the President to diagnose same government-induced problems with the nation’s
education system, when the underfunding of this system is at the epicentre of
the Nigeria’s education crisis. Like the politicians before him, President
Buhari continues to draw a parallel line between quality education and national
growth, forgetting that there cannot be sustainable growth without a
value-creating human population. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, students,
education workers, and parents should draw the conclusion that the crops of capitalist
ruling elites in this country are incapable of taking independent initiative to
mould a desirable future for young people, and in effect, for this country. This
is why together with fighting for save public education, we should also fight to
replace all these failed anti-poor and anti-education capitalist politicians
with a planned democratic socialist system under which the wealth of Nigeria
can be publicly owned and democratically managed to finance free and functional

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Education Rights
Campaign (ERC) calls on the Prof. Eyitope Ogunmodede-led management of the
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile- Ife to immediately rescind its recent
decision to proscribe the Students’ Union in the interest of peace and progress
of the university. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We also demand the
recall of ERC National Secretary, Comrade Omole Ibukun and three (3) other
student activists who were recently placed on indefinite suspension by the
University administration for simply complaining about the poor welfare
conditions of the hostels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">OAU is being gradually
turned into a military barrack where dissent is a crime. Staff unions, the
labour movement, Civil Society Organizations and NGOs must not watch and allow
Prof. Ogunmodede turn the nation’s clock back to the days of military
dictatorship. As we write, several students have been injured by over fifty
(50) security men armed with cudgels and sledge hammers sent by the University
Vice Chancellor, yesterday Monday 6 November 2017, to enforce the proscription
by closing down the union office. There are no words to describe the latest
action of the University administration other than tyrannical, despotic,
undemocratic and unacceptable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For avoidance of doubt,
we must point out that the Prof. Ogunmodede-led University authorities went
beyond their powers in proscribing the Students Union. The existence of
Students Unionism is guaranteed by relevant provisions of the 1999 constitution
of the Federal republic of Nigeria (AS Amended). As such, no Vice Chancellor
has the power to pronounce a Students Union banned the same way same cannot be
done to the staff unions. Against this background, the action of the management
of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) is therefore illegal, null and void and
a reckless abuse of authority.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To be clear, the reason
for the proscription of the union was because the mass of students had the
courage to impeach the Union president, Dr. IBK who happened to be a close
friend of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ogunmodede, for various acts of infraction
of the union constitution and misdemeanor including misappropriation of union
funds, gross negligence and inability to defend students interests and hiring
of cultists to assault innocent students on November 1st 2017.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We call on the Federal
government and in particular the visitor to the University, President Muhammadu
Buhari, to call the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ogunmodede, to order before he turns
OAU into a military garrison. So far over, about eight (8) undergraduate and
postgraduate students of the University have been suspended since Prof.
Ogunmodede’s appointment as the Vice Chancellor of the University. For a Vice
Chancellor who has not spent up to seven (7) months in office, Prof. Ogunmodede
has clearly shown by all his actions so far that his administration is bound to
be one under which all democratic rights enjoyed by students and workers in the
university community would be forcefully taken away. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The proscription of the
Students Union following the action taken by the mass of students to democratically
remove the union president only goes to show what we have always alleged which
is that the university administration is unnecessarily meddling in the affairs
of the Students Union with a view to control it. As far as we are concerned,
independent unionism is a right. Students have a right to pilot their union
affairs as they like and to punish their erring union officers. </span></div>

Organizations (NGOs) and civil society groups to rise up to resist the emerging
tyranny in OAU by demanding immediate restoration of the students union and
recall of suspended students activists. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The month of October, 2017 will go
down in history as a month of indebtedness and penury for some Nigerian
families, as our intending barristers will be paying over Three hundred
thousand Naira (N300,000) to be recognized as a professional in a course they
have spent some five years in the university to learn. This is aside other fees
that they would have to pay during their registration and graduation process
from the Law school and money spent during the programme for sustenance and
project work e.t.c. As a matter of fact the law school has adopted a method of
yearly systemic increment in the recent period that involves increasing the
fees by fifteen thousand Naira (N15, 000) every year. The matter that beg for
answers is how a parent earning Eighteen thousand Naira (N18,000) as monthly minimum
wage would be able to pay these exploitative fees for their children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A case that comes to mind is that of
a law graduate from Obafemi Awolowo University who had to release a
“please-help” notice on social media before Nigerians later contributed money
to pay for his Law school fees. It is disheartening that law school has become
as costly as a venture that now demands crowd-funding. How then do we hope that
our lawyers remain incorruptible? When they have become extremely indebted to
become lawyers, won’t they prefer to give justice to the highest bidders?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Despite these exorbitant fees that
the Law school bills, the poor welfare state of the Law school that Kayode
Olusegun Bello recently exposed is still fresh in our minds; the poor social
condition that the Nigerian Law School desperately wanted to cover up to the
point of booting him out of Law school military-style, and later disobeying a
court order to reinstate him. This poor welfare includes congestion, and poor
state of accommodation facilities at the law school campuses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While this barbarity is the
obtainable at the law school, members of the management of the Council of Legal
Education continue to live in opulence while making these policies that
relegates our future lawyers to gnashing suffering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One would then ask if public education
(esp. Legal education) has become a commodity or it remains a social service.
With the knowledge that justice is the only job of the judicial arm of
government and that public education is a social responsibility of the
government, it is only logical to conclude that the burden of legal education should
be the responsibility of that government. This is why the Nigerian Law School
is a public institution and not a private enterprise. Meanwhile, education is a
social service that serves the society and the government more than the
individual. While education serves the role of advancing our society, it also
helps the government in ensuring that the people remain governable and maintain
a certain order.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In a country where Judges are been
tried for corruption, it becomes understandable that the trial of those judges will
not fundamentally bring to an end the problem of systemic corruption, but it is
a question of changing the entire corrupt capitalist system. If youths that are
supposed to learn justice have it accepted through these fees that legal and judicial
education goes to the highest bidder, and then they would not find it hard to
rationalize it in the future that justice should also go to the highest bidder.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 109.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All of these aforementioned facts stress
the fact that public education, especially legal education, must be affordable.
In the final analysis, we need a public education sector that is
democratically-managed, properly-planned and publicly funded. If this is not
done, the laws for the rich will continue to be different than the law for the
poor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
