ASUU Declares Pantami’s Professorship Illegal

ASUU has faulted the promotion of Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Pantami, as a Professor, and has Federal University of Technology, Owerri for elevating him to a Professor.

The union after its National Executive Council meeting at a press conference addressed by the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, on Monday, declared the promotion as “illegal”.

Osodeke said, “You cannot be a minister and a lecturer in a university. It is an encouragement of illegality.

“Pantami has to quit as a minister and be tried for doing double jobs within the same federal system. He is not qualified. Pantami should not be treated as a professor.”
