The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has disclosed that a large number of its members are leaving Nigeria in search of greener pastures.
The national president of the union, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke said large number of lecturers are leaving the country to pursue their careers abroad following the prolonged industrial action.
Osodeke disclosed this on Thursday while fielding questions from journalists at the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
According to him: “We don’t have a certain statistic but a large number of our members have moved out of the country not because they hate this country but because of the way they are being treated.
“There’s no country in the world where their academics will go on strike and you think the best weapon is to seize their salary”.
