NAN reports that AOCOED was suspended from COEASU’s activities, for over two years, following its anti-union activities and for acting contrary to the directives of the national headquarters of the union.
Ajose said the chapter’s reconciliation was embraced by the national body, due to its enviable active participation in unionism in the past.
The college produced the first national president of COEASU.
“The suspension was lifted subject to certain proviso that will be communicated to the union later in the week, and the fine, including the outstanding dues will also be paid.
“While we await the fine option and the outstanding dues of two years, which will be negotiated, dues accrued since the resumption of the caretaker committee has been paid,” he said.

The chapter on March 14, began a reconciliation move, which resulted in the lifting of the over 24-month suspension, placed on its activities by the headquarters of COEASU
