Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to take charge and speed up the process of resolving the ongoing trade union dispute between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other unions in tertiary institutions in the country.
The vice-chancellors under the aegis of Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, (CVCNU), said their call was necessitated by the impact of the strike on both students and the institutions.
“We plead that drastic action is taken to stem the haemorrhage that the system is currently witnessing. For the sake of our children and our society, we need a decisive decision,” Chairman of CVCNU, Prof. Samuel Edoumiekumo.
He spoke at the public presentation of the Model Intellectual Property for Nigerian universities, unveiled on Thursday, in Abuja.
The document is the outcome of collaboration between the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) and the CVCNU with support from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Office of Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP).
According to the vice-chancellors, the objective of the intellectual property for universities was to promote the generation, sustainable utilisation and better management of intellectual property in Nigerian universities.
