BREAKING: Pantami’s professorship illegal— ASUU fires Buhari’s minister 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has faulted the promotion of Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Pantami, as a professor.

The union after its National Executive Council meeting declared the promotion as “illegal”.

This was declared at a press conference addressed by the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, on Monday.

He said, “You cannot be a minister and a lecturer in a university. It is an encouragement of illegality.

“Pantami has to quit as a minister and be tried for doing double jobs within the same federal system. He is not qualified. Pantami should not be treated as a professor.

“We have resolved to sanction ASUU members involved in his promotion and the VC of FUTO.”

Recall that Mouthpiece NGR earlier reported that the Union had declared a one month warning strike.

The union expressed grievances over the failure of the Federal Government to fulfil some of the agreements it made as far back as 2009.

ASUU had on November 15, 2021, given the federal government a three-week ultimatum over the failure to meet the demands.
