FUTO Debunks Resumption Date in Circulation

-

 

The attention of the management of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) has been drawn to a supposed notice of resumption of academic activities for the 2019/2020 academic session, requesting students to resume lectures on Monday, January 11, 2021.

I, the Registrar and secretary to the senate, hereby categorically refute such notice (which was poorly written and unsigned), as it did not emanate from my office.

I wish to further state that neither management nor the senate has taken any decision on the date of the resumption of academic activities for the 2019/2020 session.

I, therefore, on behalf of the Vice-chancellor, urge FUTO students and the general public to disregard such and await proper notice from the appropriate authority in due course.

Please be guided.

Signed
John U. Nnabuike 
Registrar/Secretary to the Senate.

A cross section of varsity lecturers have vowed to push for resumption of the suspended strike at their respective zonal levels over government’s ‘failure’ to honour agreements both parties reached at a meeting on December 22, last year.   Daily Trust   reports that ASUU suspended its 9-month-old strike December 23rd, 2020 following certain agreements reached by both parties, which included payment of outstanding lecturers’ salaries on or before December 31, releasing of N40bn Earned Allowance before January 15, among others. But in separate telephone interviews with our correspondent, the lecturers described the government’s refusal to honour the agreements as “insincerity”, saying such behaviour would be met with stiff resistance. A Professor at University of Ibadan, who pleaded anonymity, said: “Well, the point is that, not that the federal government stopped paying our salaries but they have not paid it in accordance with the agreement.” According to him, the agreements s...
