Suspense surrounds the nation’s university campuses as ASUU ushers in a new president. Prof. Chris Piwuna, a consultant psychiatrist and administrator at the University of Jos, has been chosen to lead the union following a decisive vote at its 23rd National Delegates Congress in Benin.

okay.ng reports that the election, which pitted Piwuna against a contender from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, comes at a critical juncture. Piwuna takes over from a soil science professor previously at the helm, inheriting a union grappling with unresolved disputes over the recent disbursement of Earned Academic Allowances by the Federal Government. Broader issues such as brain drain and university autonomy continue to fuel unrest within the academic sector.

As he steps into office, Piwuna’s leadership will be tested by mounting expectations from both academic staff and students, with many watching closely for signs of impending strikes or negotiations with government authorities.
