Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A group has asked the Governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to reinstate five leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) reportedly sacked by the Lagos State University (LASU) in 2017.<\/p>\n

The group, under the aegis of the Campaign for Democratic and Workers Rights (CDWR), described the sack of the union leaders as unjust.<\/p>\n

The governor had set up a panel to look into the issue between the lecturers and the former management of the institution.<\/p>\n

The panel, it was said, recommended the reinstatement of the lecturers in a report submitted to the Sanwo-Olu in 2022, but the sacked ASUU leaders are yet to be recalled.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Tuesday, the CDWR Chairperson, Rufus Olusesan, and the Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Bosah, accused the governor of acting arbitrarily.<\/p>\n

The organisation said it was \u201cshocking\u201d that the university\u2019s Governing Council had refused to implement the recommendations of the panel since 2022.<\/p>\n

The group recalled that the Prof Dapo Asaju-led appeal committee was set up by the Vice Chancellor, Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello and it submitted its report on February 23, 2022.<\/p>\n

CDWR said the body was then constituted \u201csequel to the report of a committee of the council that reviewed the fabricated allegations against them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in a bizarre turn of events, 48 hours after, the same governing council reconvened to put on hold the implementation of its earlier decision, apparently following pressure from the Lagos State government.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then, nothing has been heard about the issue while the sacked lecturers continue to suffer an unjust dismissal,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n

The group said it considered the refusal to recall the sacked workers as a sign of executive lawlessness on the part of the Sanwo-Olu administration, while calling it a betrayal of the promise made by the Governor in November 2021 when he set up a 10-man visitation panel.<\/p>\n

Making demands, the CDWR asked for the immediate recall of the sacked union leaders as recommended by the appeal committee.<\/p>\n
