ALTHOUGH the Delta State Commissioner for
Higher Education, Prof. Hope Eghagha has called on
students to return back to classes, the leadership of
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the
State led by Dr. Emmanuel Mordi is insisting that
lecturers should still hold on until necessary
protocols are concluded.
He has therefore told his colleagues to remain at
home until they get the green light from the local
ASUU over the suspension of the strike.
Mordi insisted that “after the suspension of the
strike by NEC and briefing of DELSU congress on
the outcome of NEC meeting lecturers will be free to
resume teaching.
“The University administration as the University
Senate may direct, will make the revised academic
calendar public and all things being equal, this
should happen in the next 96 hours”, he stated.
Academic activities were yet to commence at the
Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka and Anwai-
Asaba campuses even as the State.
Commissioner Hope Eghagha made the appeal at
the official handover ceremony of e-library complex
at the Anwai-Asaba campus, weekend while urging
parents to ensure that their children and wards go
back to their campuses as government had
invested much in the provision of educational
facilities in DELSU and other state-owned higher
institutions.
Welcoming the Commissioner, the Vice Chancellor
of DELSU, Prof. Eric Arubayi represented by the
Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics, Prof.
Chukwuemeka Aloamaka thanked the State
government for building a library of world class in
the university noting that the library edifice has
boosted the image of the university and would also
enhance the accreditation of many courses in the
university.
