Federal College of Education union distance self from splinter group

The Executives and Congress of the Federal University of Education, COEASU FUE, Kano, have registered complaints against a splinter group from among members who created a parallel Academic Staff Union without recourse to the transition period the Institution is going through.

The Chairman of the Federal University of Education Union, Kano, Dr Ado Muhammad Abdullahi, said while responding to the new splinter group that they are only trying to create chaos and disrupt peace and unity in the ranks of the union by floating a parallel academic staff union.

“We view this as an attempt by a few self-seeking saboteurs to undermine the peaceful and orderly transition process that the Council has already put in place by constituting committees and calling for memorandums from all stakeholders.”

He added, “You might have already noticed that staff unions in the University are happy and have strong confidence in the management’s ability and willingness to reflect positively on the primary concerns of members of staff during the transition process.”...Read Full Article [Click Here>]

Muhammad said, “It is interesting to note that COEASU still operates legitimately in both Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri and Adeyemi University of Education, Ondo, where the upgrade came more than a year earlier than our Institution. Similarly, COEASU also operates peacefully in FUE, Zaria which was upgraded alongside our own University.

The Chairman acknowledged the right of any lecturer to pull out of the union but warned that “we cannot allow any mischievous attempt at polarizing the University and creating undue animosity and chaos among us.”

”Therefore, in view of the potential threat to peace and the smooth transition of the Institution to its new status, we urge the management to halt any undue rebellion against our Union,” the statement said.
