The management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), has disclosed the reason why the 2021/2022 academic session was cancelled saying it was because of the challenges the country faced in past years.
The institution Registrar, Olugbenga Arajulu, said that Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) strikes, elections break and others have disrupted the entire arrangements.
ECHO MEDIA Interviewed the Registrar during the four-day orientation programme for fresh students which was held at Olusegun Obasanjo Multipurpose Hall (OBJ) today. He stressed that the decision was reached to enable the students to commence academic activities at the same time with the 2022/2023 academic session.
When asked about how the management plan to mobilize the 2021/2022 students for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), he said: "The University administration will work on that and it is not the student's business but our business."
He added that the management will work with the authorities of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Abuja to ensure the students are mobilized.
"It's not an omission. At the time we released the first circular, preparations were under-way to streamline the whole thing but at the end of the discussion and deliberation, we found out that it will not be proper to ask those who were admitted in 2021/2022 to now commence their activities in the 2022/2023 academic session.
"So, it is a normal thing because of the challenges we have faced in Nigeria, ASUU for eight[8] months disrupted the entire arrangements. Lecture for another month when students could not resume activities."
