In a leaked letter of appointment addressed to one of the nominees, and signed by the union’s President, Emmanuel Osadeke, ASUU tasked the committee with the responsibility to develop strategies to tackle the alleged media campaign against the union’s decision to continue with the industrial action.
The letter said ASUU is at a very critical stage of its struggle toward the survival of public universities in Nigeria and has observed that a lot of media propaganda to misinform and malign the union is ongoing.
It said the trustees and principal officers of the union decided to constitute a rapid response committee to immediately respond to various media publications, opinions, interviews that may be against the interest of the union.
