According to him, the senate of the university had
declared all the positions of academic staff in the

compiled the list of vacant positions in the school,

adequately protected. Continue...
Meanwhile, the FUTO branch of ASUU has said
any attempt to break their ranks would be strongly
resisted by their members.
This was contained in a communiqué issued at the
end o their meeting held on Monday, and signed by
both the chairman and secretary, Dr Ikenna
Nwachukwu and Dr F.M. Eke respectively.

resumption notice by FUTO management, adding
that the branch would not engage in any academic
activities until the Federal Government commited
itself to implementing the ASUU-FGN agreement.
