UNN CONVOCATION WILL NOT HOLD; ASUU CHAIRMAN SAYS

The chairman of the UNN ASUU Branch have vowed that the Forth coming convocation of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka scheduled for 30th November 2018 will not hold unless the ongoing nationwide ASUU strike is suspended.

He made this statement at a press briefing done to update the public on the ongoing strike. He said, for the convocation to be successful the Deans, Head of departments and units and faculty officers are to present their graduating students to the vice chancellor, and this will not be possible since the aforementioned are part and parcel of the ongoing Nation wide strike.

He however added that, he has sent a message to the Vice chancellor; Ozumba Benjamin asking him to suspend every preparation towards the event due to the above reasons. Adding also that there will be serious sanction on every and any staff that sabotages this order. Reasons being that the strike is nation wide, total and comprehensive.

Graduating students are therefore advised to trend with caution while preparing for the convocation, particularly in terms of travelling and logistics surrounding their BIG DAY celebration.

 However, as at the time of this post, the university administration have in contrast to the usual practice not published the list of graduating students. Also  the official table of events is not yet published . these suggests that the order by the ASUU chairman may be effective.
