The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has raised concerns about the selection of the vice-chancellors of universities, citing the VC selection process at Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri, Imo State.
The union expressed dismay that universities had been turned into commodities for politicians and contractors, rather than promoting merit and scholarship for which the institutions should be known.
This is contained in a statement by ASUU signed by its president, Christopher Piwuna.
According to the statement, the union is also gravely concerned by decisions of some governing councils at the federal and state universities stressing that Universities that are built on merit and scholarship have been turned into commodities for politicians and contractors in the appointment of Vice Chancellors.
ASUU condemned the attempt to bring back the Acting Vice Chancellor of Alvan Ikoku University of Education, despite clear evidence to the fact that her promotion to the rank of a reader and professor was fraught with a lot of contradictions adding that similar things are unfolding in federal universities.
