The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Osun State University (UNIOSUN) is protesting the reported extension of the tenure of the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Clement Adebooye, by Governor Ademola Adeleke. Vanguard reports the union has expressed reservations while indicating the extension remains unconfirmed, describing it as “rumour” at the time of its report.
Daily Post Nigeria reports ASUU has rejected the extension, saying a two-year extension does not align with the Osun State University Establishment Law, which the union says does not provide for extending a vice-chancellor’s tenure. Both outlets focus on the same dispute: whether the governor’s action—or the reported action—has legal backing under the relevant university law. The difference is mainly in tone and certainty, with Vanguard highlighting that ASUU treats the extension as not yet fully confirmed, while Daily Post presents ASUU’s rejection more directly.
Overall, the reporting centers on ASUU’s contention that the tenure extension is either not properly authorized or not supported by the establishment statute governing UNIOSUN’s leadership.
