According to report, the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) yesterday marched for the late President of the union, Prof. Festus Iyayi.
The procession moved from the temporary site to the main campus.
Led by the Chairman, Comrade Emeka Nwabuniya, the procession sang pro-Iyayi solidarity songs round the school before proceeding to the Political Science Hall on the Igbariam Campus.
Addressing reporters, Nwabuniya lamented the poor funding, lack of electricity, poor remuneration and accommodation challenges facing the school.
He noted that poor infrastructure had robbed some faculties of accreditation, while fee increment continued to chase away students.
The chairman praised Governor Willie Obiano for raising the school’s subvention. But he admitted that most of the infrastructure was built by Tertiary Education and Technology Fund (TETFUND), while a few others were done through the school’s internally generated revenue (IGR).
Nwabuniya said the school was under-staffed, saying lecturers were a little above 500, for an institution that should have more than 1,000 teachers.
