A youth group is urging the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Osun State Government to hold dialogue to resolve the ongoing crisis involving the Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Prof. Clement Adebooye.
The dispute centres on the extension of the vice-chancellor’s tenure for two years, which ASUU opposes. Both reports say the youth group—identified as the Southern Youth Forum in one outlet—asks university stakeholders to prioritise peace and the interests of students while discussions proceed between the parties involved. The calls are framed as a way to de-escalate tensions within the university community and reach an agreed way forward.
While the outlets focus on the same underlying issue, they differ mainly in phrasing: one describes the appeal as dialogue specifically between ASUU and “govt,” while the other stresses a broader stakeholder effort to maintain stability at UNIOSUN.
