FAE PUBLICATION ON PANTAMIGATE: COLOSSAL REDUCTION OF TRUST, A PERCEPTIVE ABUSE OF GREY HAIR AND DISLOCATION OF AUTHORITY – MISCARRIAGE OF WISDOM INTENSELY NEEDED 3
Series 3
So! off all the travails of the university, the most
important thing to our revered “so-called elders” is winning and dinning? - a behavior associated with youthful exuberance!
The public would be asking by now, what
sort of an elder, in this generation goes dancing disco/do-rime, while the
young people are at work asking questions on why their university is being
de-roped of her glory of ages past in a digital dispensation?
One will be forced to ask, what is an ELDER doing in a corporate
institution of an academic setting other than offering sound counsel, devoid of
stomach plans (considering that nothing substance, emerged on the PANTAMIGATE
saga, a burning issue of national concern) or are we in an age-grade
or village meeting where self is more enthroned and tolerated based on age!
Could this be part of the process of under-writing the
university management pledge being pinched at the NEC leadership of FAA as a
rejoinder to her perception of having its name as a front to the said event?
There is only but one Alumni body in the Value chain of the
university community, instituted and governed by a constitution - represented
by elected executives on issues of public interest.
May we remind all parties, that if the university had ended
in 1989 there would be no one to be an elder to. Hence, if really, they
understand the duty call of grey hair on them, respecting constituted authority
of the FAA and supporting her leadership in questioning the current management
of the university, will be the wisest path to thread and the strongest way to
substantiate and craft value from their rare wisdom as elders and foremost
stakeholder who should be a strong backbone of assured continuity to the young
generations.
How on earth are these folks unaware of this reality, to the
point of usurping the Alumni constitutional authority and views of NEC
leadership as well as the counsel of the FAA BOT - to allow the ASUU handle the
wrongdoing of the University as perceived by many - being academics who
understands the processes better, which is the wisest thing to do if the
management are not willing to be accountable in house.
So, the best, the so-called elders can do is to use their resources
to substantiate wrongdoing through a court rancor? may possibly be the
perception of the masses by now, considering her recent publication of
dissociation of self, from the FAA condemnation on the Pantami-gate
Despite the advice of FAA to this group - not to throw reckless support and
approval to the management’s alleged wrongdoing but bring them under probity
and sound counsel. They all journeyed
down from Port Harcourt to Lagos to play host to what could be misconceived by
the public as lobbying, approval, and image promotion on the alleged fraud!
Why have these precious elders, taken a decision capable of
dragging our alma mater to the mud furthermore, for heaven sakes? Anyone who
doesn't know their financial status, will think this is a stomach influenced
decision especially with said publication. Or could it be anger due to the
absence of our aggrieved graduates, who refused to come out in mass to cheer
them into wrongful approval of monetizing appointments in FUTO hence, raise a media
headline of FAA endorsing same in guise of a dinner - that is stoking this miss
information to the public and unwarranted publication?
Please read the next article the concluding part series 4.
Yours always,
Concerned FUTO Alumnus
