The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,has rejected a crowdfunding platform initiated to end the ongoing strike by lecturers of public universities in the country.
The crowdfunding platform initiated by acclaimed philanthropist and owner of Human Rights Radio,Ahmed Isah,was aimed at raising money for the lecturers’ union with a view to ending the strike that has grounded academic activities in the nation’s public varsities.
It was gathered that the public had started donating money to the cause with the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, contributing N50 million to the project before ASUU decried the action and asked that it be counted out of the initiative.
