FUTO Governing Council urges ASUU to end strike

FUTO Governing Council urges ASUU to end strike

The council chairman stated the governing council’s stance.

The Governing Council of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to end their strike.

The Pro Chancellor and Chairman of the council, Emmanuel Enemuo, made the appeal on Saturday at a news conference in Owerri.

Mr. Enemuo noted that the Federal Government had demonstrated commitment to addressing the most contentious issues in the 2009 agreement.

He said that government had approved the payment of earned allowances and revitalisation of universities through adequate funding with the release of N130 billion. He added that government also promised to pay any shortfalls after due verification by the councils of the various universities.

Mr. Emeno said that the funds already released were sourced from different government agencies such as the Central bank, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the National Communications Commission (NCC).

He stated that the government had promised to make provision for further intervention in the 2014 appropriation bill and urged ASUU to reciprocate the gesture by going back to classes.

The pro-chancellor disclosed that the governing council of FUTO had decided to pay earned allowances to its deserving staff.

He said a management committee had been constituted to determine the actual earned allowances to be paid to individual staff of the university.
