The Senate of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) have
threatened to sack all academic staff on its payroll with immediate
effect on December 4, 2013, Monday, for failure to return to classrooms.
This has been confirmed by Mr. Chike Ezenwa, the Public Relations
Officers (PRO) of the institution, in a telephone conversation with the
Nigerian Tribune in Owerri.
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 December 2, 2013, Monday.
The PRO further explained that the senate council had already compiled
the list of vacant positions in the school, adding that who were willing
to resume would be adequately protected.
As concerns resuming the teaching process, the following press release was issued at FUTO:
The Senate of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri at its
375th Extraordinary meeting held on Monday, December 2, 2013 considered
the directive of the Federal Government on resumption of duty by
Academic Staff in Federal Universities and decided that academic
activities in the University should resume immediately for the
conclusion of the 2012/2013 Rain Semester.
Consequently all students of the University are required to return to
campus between Monday December 2, and Friday December 8, 2013 while Rain
Semester Examinations commence on Monday December 9, 2013 and end on
Saturday December 21, 2013.
Accordingly, all academic staff are required to proceed immediately to
their respective Departments to sign in for resumption of duty not later
than Wednesday December 4, 2013.
However, the FUTO branch of ASUU said any attempt to break their ranks
would be strongly resisted by their members. The Monday’s 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 committed itself to implementing the ASUU-FGN
agreement.
