A retired Professor of Botany at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Prof Omotoye Olorode, has lamented that the ruling class has become an enemy of the people.
Olurode also raised the alarm that Nigeria has become a bourgeoise state.
This observation formed part of the second Osun State University, UNIOSUN, annual lecture titled, ‘Collective Bargaining in Labour Relations: Interrogating the impact of FGN-Staff Unions Agreements on the Nigerian University System’.
Delivering the lecture on Thursday, Olurode, who is the guest speaker, stressed that university lectures were important because they afford the system opportunity to address issues affecting the society point blank.
He said, “We do not have opportunity to address questions. It only what we hear on the broadcast stations and the studios things we see in the social media. This is really dangerous. The university system is in danger and it is in a really terrible position.”
