The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, University of Calabar, UNICAL, branch, has accused the federal government of abysmal failure in ensuring a conducive environment for those in the academic sector.

Dr Edor J. Edor, the ASUU Chairman of UniCal said the statement of the Nigerian government regarding schools resuming on January 18, 2021, was an indication of government’s failure.

Recall that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu had said government was reviewing the January 18 resumption date.

Adamu had said the resumption date was under review due to the spike in the figures of COVID-19 cases across the country.

However, Edor in a chat with reporters said: “Having regards to the absymal and shameful failure of the federal government to put in place infrastructure of public universities in other to make them conducive for learning and teaching, the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 on Monday said resumption is under review.

“This is a clear admission of federal government’s failure to do the needful in public universities.

“If we have condusive lecture theatres, conducive hostels, conducive offices and infrastructure, if they have possible water, have ordinary taps as one of the COVID-19 protocols is saying that wash your hand frequently with soap under running water before sanitising then why will the federal government be shifting resumption of schools.
