Seun Kuti, youngest son of famous afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, has called out the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over it’s silence on the trending #SexForGrades scandal.
According to him, ASUU should not act or pretend like they haven’t heard or seen any of the circulated videos.
“ASUU leaders make una no pretend like say una no hear all this noise about una members accused of #SexForGrades in our universities. If na una money struggle now, una go expect both activists and students to rise and fight for una. Now the students need una to rise and fight for them too,” he said.
