Academic Union of Universities, ASUU, has declared September 10, 2024, as Victimized Lecturers’ Day, a day set aside to alert the world about unending managerial crises and the travails of lecturers in public Universities in Nigeria.

The National President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke disclosed this on Wednesday at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, while briefing Journalists about the outcome of the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of ASUU held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Osodeke, who was flanked by ASUU members during the press briefing, said several lecturers in different Nigerian Universities have either had their appointments terminated, salaries withheld or their promotions denied by the management of such institutions for trying to protect the welfare of academic staff.
