       The Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, have jointly
       condemned the ongoing indefinite strike embarked upon by thee
       Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
       The Secretary-General of the Association of Vice Chancellors of
       Federal State Universities in Nigeria, Professor Michael
       Faborode, spoke on behalf of the group and urged the Federal
       Government and ASUU to resolve the crisis.
       He said: “At the 59th meeting of the Association of Vice
       Chancellors of Nigerian Federal, State and Private Universities
       heldon Thursday, 18th July, 2013, at the Nigerian Turkish Nile
       University (NTNU), Abuja, the ongoing national strike action by
       the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) was extensively
       deliberated upon.
       “The association noted that the strike action was crippling the
       education system in Nigeria, and portraying the system and the
       country in bad light to the global community.
       “The association therefore appealed to the Federal Government
       and ASUU to expeditiously reach an amicable solution on the 2009
       FGN-ASUU Agreement, so as to restore normal academic activities
       in Nigerian university system.”
       The vice chancellors also spoke strongly against plagiarism,
       which is fast becoming a trend among students and lecturers in
       Nigerian universities.
       “It urged its members to continue to uphold the extant
       traditions of the academic system,” he added.
       “It was observed in particular that, the association, by
       collectively subscribing to the TURN-IT-IN anti-plagiarism
       services at a considerable cost, has taken appropriate steps to
       uphold article 9.2 i&ii of the Declaration, aimed at combating
       widespread plagiarism in our universities, by authenticating
       theoriginality of all academic publications for the sake of
       credibility of the system.
       “Members extolled the virtues of the anti-plagiarism package
       within a short time of its usage, and projected that indolent
       and lazy academics and students, who denigrate the system with
       their inordinate ambition and sharp practices, no longer have
       any hiding place, as the service would fish them out for
       appropriate sanction.
       “Plagiarism is one of the most heinous misdemeanours in the
       academic system”.
       Over 50 vice chancellors and deputies attended the meeting.
