Lagos: some Lecturers of the Lagos States University(LASU) has expressed their views in the dismissal of 15 academic staff of the university which also includes the chairman of the Lagos State University ASUU Chairman.

The University council had on 8 of September dismissed 15 staffs including (ASUU) chairman and his deputy, and two Non-Academic staff with two others and also demoted two academic staff.

The University claimed Oyewumi collected 50,000 Naira from 2003 modular students in political science education in a sandwich program in order to process their result.

Adeyemi-Suenu was also accused of altering the results of 12 students who was asked to withdraw by the University senate in the 2015/2016 academic year.

Others where found to have neglected their duties on the training leave bond.

Dr Patrick Adebuyi of the department of Mechanical Engineering said that Dr Oyewumi and Adeyemi-suenu has lost their credence as the LASU-ASUU chairman and called for the executive in the University to be dissolved.

Dr Dele Setolu a lecturer from the department of political science said that the call for the dissolution of the ASUU executive is uncalled for and baseless.

He said that the dismissal of the ASUU-LASU executive was politically motivated by some lecturers who are willing to hijack the leadership of the union and the minority views do not in anyway represent the union as a whole.

Also Dr Olusola Sokefun of Zoology and Environmental Biology told NAN that the leadership of the branch remains valid and recognized in the national level until proven guilty in the law court.

He made it known that ASUU is not against punishment of any erring member if the process is clean and devoid of sentiments.

"In this case we are convinced that the prove of guilt is not clear and properly done" he said.
