FUTO Sacks All Academic Staff by LMAyedun(m): 9:56am On Dec 03, 2013
Following the orders by the Federal Government, urging all universities to re-open, the Senate of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) Tuesday sacked all academic staff with immediate effect.

The Federal Government had through the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike had vow to sack any lecturer who fails to return to class within seven days, and had directed vice-chancellors of federal universities that are currently on strike to immediately re-open for academic and allied activities.

The Public Relations Officers (PRO) of the institution, Mr Chike Ezenwa, speaking with the Nigerian Tribune in Owerri, said 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 said it had already compiled the list of vacant positions in the school. The school authority have urged those willing to resume would be adequately protected.

Education Minister, Wike had said,“All Vice-chancellors of Federal Universities that are on strike should immediately reopen for academic and allied activities as directed by their Pro-Chancellors. Vice-Chancellors should ensure that staff who resume for work are provided with the enabling environment for academic and allied activities.

Though the order said any academic staff who fails to resume on or before December 4, 2013, automatically ceases to be staff of the institution and vice-chancellors are also directed to advertise vacancies (internal and external) in their institutions. One wonders why the FUTO order comes a day to government’s deadline..

Meanwhile the Vice Chancellor of the University of Jos has also said the institution resumes Wednesday in-line with government’s directives but the ASUU leadership is not backing down, vows to continue strike.

Nigeria would've been far better if Jona had been this assertive from day one.

But i guess dude is trying as much as he can to make a difference in the areas of civility and due process.

I can assure you that all lecturers will be present in all schools morrow.

That reminds me of the Unilorin Saga as well...

This is not a good omen for Nigeria students.

FG vs ASUU crisis is getting really messy.
FG should be democratic and settle amicably with ASUU.

are u a comedian? even under the military, this can't work.
our first lady is also a perm sec in bayelsa so is she planing to be a lecturer in any of the universities? maybe, english lecturer.
if there is anybody jonathan can sack, it will be the minister(s) he appoint and not lecturers.
these lecturers can fight him to standstill. very soon, labour will join the game and u will understand.
do not forget, u are increasing the prices of fuel, foods, import duties and the salaries are still the same.
this govt is fighting with almost everyone(especially the wrong ppl for the wrong reasons) and how do u think the govt will stand?
it is shame that u signed agreement with ASUU in 2009 and 4 years later, u have done nothing about it.
why will the govt sign agreement and refuse to honour it?

If I abscond from work for only one hour, my phone will ring non stop, if I abscond for one week, that means i have sacked myself.

These lecturers have absconded from duty for half a year, we are still discussing if they should be sacked.

Only in Nigeria

This is now pure politics that will prelude the crisis of 2015. Schools in GEJ's stronghold complying with FG's directive while the other opposition ASUU members will be isolated and treated as subversive elements with full Federal intelligence and security apparati.

Game on...

CONGRATULATIONS TO FUTO.

A BIG LOSS TO NIGERIANS YOUTH.

ALL THE YOUTHS MUST GO AND WORK (CARRY BRICKS AND ALL SORTS).
GOVT. WANTS ALL OF YOU TO GO TO BABCOCK,COVENANT,AMERICAN UNI, ETC.

YOUR PARENTS SALARY CAN'T AFFORD THIS. HENCE YOU ALL MUST WORK.

HOWEVER, IF YOU STILL WANTS TO GO TO PUBLIC UNI, YOU SHOULD ACCEPT EVERY DISCRIMINATIONS YOU MEET IN LABOUR MARKET.

REMEMBER, THE CHILDREN OF YOUR LEADERS HAVE SOUGHT-AFTER CERTIFICATES- HAVARD, OXFORD AND MANY OTHERS FROM EUROPE AND CANADA.

POLITICIANS CALL YOU ALL FOOOOOOOOOOOOLS. YOUR ACTIONS SHOW THAT YOU ALL ARE MORE THAN THAT.

I hear you Nuzo. However the FUTO VC really needs to be resolute and determined on this matter. This is time for the VCs to take firm action. There has been too much pointless talks up to now.
The fact that lectures have already started in some other federal universities would have sown some seeds of doubt in the minds of the renegade striking lecturers.

Truth is that they are still being owed money. Is someone telling me that Federal Employers don't have the right to hire and fire insofar as due process is followed.
