• In what appears to be a backbone statement to the one earlier made by ASUU Calabar Zone today, The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos Zone has also warned the Federal Government to shelve its plans to reopen tertiary institutions shut due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic or be ready to face negative consequences.
