The professorship of Isa Ali Pantami, the minister of communications and digital economy, has been referred to as an illegality.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday, February 14, rejected Pantami’s promotion by FUTO.
This was the position of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) after its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on Monday, February 14, Punch reports.
The position of ASUU was made public in a press briefing on Monday by its president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke.
Osodeke argued that it was wrong for Pantami to be a minister and a lecturer in a university at the same time.
Adding to this, ASUU said it will sanction its members and the vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Owerri (FUTO) who were involved in Pantami’s promotion.
Osodeke stated: “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.”
