It was gathered that while some
lecturers in the school under ASUU stopped attending classes, others lecturers
under the umbrella of Congress of Nigerian Universities’ Academics (CONUA) in
OAU refused to join the industrial action, thereby causing more confusion in
the school.
A final year student of Zoology
who spoke to newsmen said that the university management has” purposely given
him extra year”.
According to him, all the
lecturers in his department are members of ASUU and for that reason are not
part of the ongoing examination in OAU whereas his colleagues in other
departments where the lecturers are not part of ASUU are taking the exams.
"Is that not extra year? When some of your colleagues graduate and you
still remain in school." He lamented.
Another final year student who
simply identified himself as Adeola said: “The postponement is psychologically
disturbing. They postponed exam indefinitely. This has not happened in OAU
before.”
One of the lecturers in the
Faculty of Arts describe the ongoing examination as unprofessional, illegal and
unsafe.
However, when contacted, Isiaka
Aransi, Dean of Students’ Affairs said ”the university is on top of the
situation”.
Explaining how the institution
will tackle the fear of spending an extra year among some of the finalists, he
said: “No students will be left out without writing exam. Let them continue
writing the ones they are writing. Every exam will be written, I can assure
you.” He said students will write the exam before the next session begins.
