CHAIRMAN of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Bauchi Zone, Dr. Lawal Abubakar, is canvassing the withdrawal of the degrees awarded the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State and Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, over their "unguarded utterances on the ongoing industrial action."
Abubakar, who is also member of ASUU National Working Committee, told The Guardian in Bauchi at the weekend that universities' senate have right to withdraw people's certificates if the need arises.
According to him, universities award certificates based on learning and character, and if any person is found wanting in character through unguarded utterances and misconduct, his certificate would be withdrawn immediately by the respective senate as a lesson to others who have similar intention.
He said ASUU demands an apology from the three personalities with immediate effect or they would lose their certificates for lack of good character and conduct after graduation from school.
