The Ekiti State chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) yesterday insisted that the body has met all constitutional requirements to be registered as a union.

The body while reacting to the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) petition to Governor Ayodele Fayose to derecognise the union said its members should not be punished for opting out of the NUT.

The ASUSS chairman in the state, Comrade Sola Adigun while speaking with newsmen yesterday, described the NUT chairman, Comrade Samuel Akosile’s petition to the governor that the union was not properly registered, as signs that NUT members are uninformed.

On the allegation that the union was out to cause confusion for Governor Fayose, Adigun said, “As at July, 2008, the members of the body was more than 4,000, which was supported by section 3 subsection 1 of the Trade Union Act that recommended only 50 members can register as a union”.

Flaunting several documents to back his claim that ASUSS was duly registered as a trade union by the Federal Ministry of Labour, Adigun described Akosile’s request as selfish and laced with hypocrisy.
