Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) university lecturers have stated that no amount of threats from the Committee of Pro-chancellors of State Owned Universities in Nigeria (COPSON) can break their ranks.

In its response, ASUU advised the Nigerian Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State-Owned Universities to stop playing to the gallery.
