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.
Signed:
Orje Ishegh-Nor
Registrar/Secretary to the Senate"
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.
