ASUU accepted the challenge and on August 23, 2020, despite the COVID-19 restrictions and attendant difficulties, unveiled the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS). Sadly, the Federal Government changed the gear and opted to antagonise the software by raising artificial obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acceptance of UTAS was predicated on passing an integrity test. The release of the test result became predicated on a threat of an industrial action by the union. They said result upon the release was bridled with ignorance, inconsistencies, copy rights violations and political colourations, as some findings were independent of the actual. In which case, in spite of the high percentage score recorded for UTAS, it was still adjudged to have failed the said test.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it does not mind universities remaining shut until the right things are done to guarantee the quality of learning and well-being of workers and students.
