For failure to return to classrooms, the Senate of the Federal
University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has sacked all academic staff on
its payroll with immediate effect. The sack order was made known by the Public Relations Officers (PRO)
of the institution, Mr Chike Ezenwa, while speaking with the Nigerian
Tribune in Owerri, through telephone.
According to him, the senate of the university had declared all the
positions of academic staff in the institution, adding that they would
be advertised starting from Monday, December 2.
The senate council, he explained, had already compiled the list of
vacant positions in the school, adding that who were willing to resume
would be adequately protected. Continue...
Meanwhile, the FUTO branch of ASUU has said any attempt to break their ranks would be strongly resisted by their members.
This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end o their meeting
held on Monday, and signed by both the chairman and secretary, Dr Ikenna
Nwachukwu and Dr F.M. Eke respectively.
The communiqué urged members to ignore the resumption notice by FUTO
management, adding that the branch would not engage in any academic
activities until the Federal Government commited itself to implementing
the ASUU-FGN agreement.
