At the last congress of the 2023/2024 academic session, held by the Faculty of Education, OAU on June 18, 2025, the presiding officer stated categorically that no agency should release a report of the gathering’s resolutions.
This begs the question: Was it a congress or a secret cult?
Or should we say it was a show of unconstitutional power? A way to exert a clampdown on the press?
All of these questions must be asked to know why such an egregious order was made by someone representing a body that is assumed to be transparent.
One should also ask: if the General Secretary of the association would release a report on the resolution of the congress, what difference does it make if an agency publishes a report on the resolution?
Or, are the contents of the reports supposed to differ?
