Tension In Michael Okpara Varsity As Prof Otunta Set To Sack More Than 400 Staff by kahal29: 4:20pm On Jun 29, 2017 |
Based on the information gathered by Abia Facts Newspaper, we learnt that Prof. Francis Ogbonnaya Otunta the Vice Chancellor of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike has concluded plans to sack no fewer than 400 University staff. Fear and apprehension has taken over the University of Agriculture as indications emerged that a large number of Staff whose appointments ought to be regularized will be shown the way out. Our sources in the university who pleaded anonymity disclosed that the governing council of the university rising from their meeting agreed to sack the staff all of whom were employed by the former VC Prof Hilary Edeoga. According to the source, most of the staff affected attended the regularisation interview conducted in 2016 by the former VC but did not collect their letters of regularization before the VC pulled out of the office. However, the source added that immediately the new VC assumed office, he declared the regularisation interview inconclusive and mandated all affected staff to reapply stating why their appointments should be renewed. “We all reapplied though we were apprehensive that the new VC wanted to sack most of us and replace us with his kinsmen and friends, like he did when he was rector in Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, Afikpo, Ebonyi State. We were not surprised when news broke out that the governing council decided to sack all of us. We have been complaining about it right from the start when he declared the transparent and fair regularisation interview inconclusive. Some of us were offered temporary appointments while others were head hunted to join the university from other universities. Majority of us were interviewed after sometime which is a standard civil service rule in a bid to regularise our appointments. However, the former VC did not have time to sign the letters of regularisation or authorise the registrar to do same before activities marking his pulling out kick started. Some weeks ago he set up a committee to look at the credentials of all staff involved with a view to sacking those whose certificates were questionable or those occupying positions they were not qualified to occupy. The committee had neither concluded their work nor submitted their report before the VC presented the issue to Council that were just inaugurated and had their first meeting. On many occasions while addressing staff, he told us that he does not want anybody to lose his/her job. Imagine our shock that after the governing council meeting, information we got indicate that all of us will be sacked. In fact the decision was that all our arrears should be paid while our june salary will also be paid. The letters of termination will take effect from July 1. The registrar has been mandated to sign the letters, though unverified sources say the registrar is unwilling to sign the letters”, our said said. http://www.abiafactsnews.com/tension-mouau-prof-otunta-set-sack-400-staff/

This is what change of power causes.... Just like when Buhari came into Power. When the former VC of the school, Prof Edeoga was leaving, he had a candidate in mind to replace him and most of the staff in the school where his cronies. However, Otunta played the kind of politics he played and grabbed the position. Now he plans to payback those that didn't support his election and loyalists of the former V.C by sacking them. Maybe he wants to bring his village people to come and run the school. Thank God say man no be God sha!! 2 Likes |

odiks: It just goes further to tell you that Biafra is a scam, last Wednesday, at Oil Mill Market a group of boys stormed my vehicle demanding that I give them money for Biafra cause, I asked them is this what Biafra is all about? is this what your Director asked you do ? I was fortunate my doors were locked, only God knows what would have happened if they gained access to my vehicle. If they cant take care of their own people what about others from outside?

From a reliable source I understand the former VC recruited the affected staff. They were said to be placed on a temporary appointment then. Apparently by implication on the expiry of the terms of engagement the university management under a new leadership had taken a decision to let the staff go. |
