The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ilorin (Unilorin) Chapter, on Monday, condemned the attack of a female lecturer at Faculty of Life Sciences, Mrs Rahmat Zakariyyah, by a student of the institution.
The Chairman of the association, Prof. Moyosore Ajao, made the condemnation during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin, the state capital.
Recall that NAN reports that a 400 Level student of the Department of Microbiology, identified as Salaudeen Waliyu, aka Captain Walz, allegedly beat the lecturer to a coma.
The student was alleged to have attacked the lecturer in her office because she refused to help him over his failure to do the mandatory Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES).
While reacting to the development, Ajao told NAN that the union would never allow the dastardly act to go unaddressed.
The Chairman said: “It is not just because the lecturer is a female but because she is a human being and violence is never tolerated in ASUU, more or less in a university where character and learning are the essences of it.
“ASUU is patiently waiting on what the university management is going to do before we now apply our own action.
