ASUU Strike: UNILAG And Bowen University Fight Over Rema

University of Lagos (UNILAG) has replied Bowen University for wooing Rema due to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Gatekeepers News reports that Rema in a tweet lamented that the ongoing strike by the Union has not stopped him from resuming since he gained admission to study ‘Creative Arts’ at UNILAG.

The ‘Calm Down’ crooner, therefore, appealed to the union to suspend its strike.

In response to the tweet, Bowen University urged the ‘Bounce’ singer to consider enrolling in its institution to avoid being delayed by ASUU.

“ASUU can’t delay you if you’re enrolled in Bowen University,” the varsity wrote.

Rema in his response, called the attention of UNILAG to Bowen’s tweet while also expressing his excitement at the Osun-based varsity’s gesture.

“UNILAG private university don dey toast me o, I’m blushing omg stop it,” the singer had replied in pidgin English.

In reaction to this, UNILAG asked Rema not to allow anyone to change his mind, accompanying the tweet with a clip from ‘Jo’, a track off ‘Rave And Roses’, Rema’s latest album.

“Hmm… Rema dear, UNILAG has chosen you o, Hmm… so don’t let anybody come dey change your mind o…Rema no dey vex for us o,” the tweet read.

Gatekeepers News earlier reported that ASUU on February 14 declared a one-month warning strike to protest the non-implementation of its demands by the federal government.

At the conclusion of the warning strike, the union extended the industrial action by eight weeks, citing the government’s failure to fully address its demands.
