announced December 9th as resumption date for academic
activities in the institution.
It was made known after an extra-ordinary Senate meeting
held on Tuesday.
Deputy Registrar, Information, of the University, Dr. William
Wordi told DailyPost that the management of the institution
found it reasonable to end the 5-month old strike in the
interest of the students.
Wordi said the Senate also decided to pay the backlog of
salary areas of lecturers who resumed work on the announced
date.
Meanwhile, the UNIPORT chapter of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, said there is no going back on
the strike until the Federal Government meets all their
demands.
Chairman of ASUU in the University, Prof. Anthonia
Okerengwo said the students would be wasting their time if
they resumed on the stipulated date.
Prof. Okerengwo said the Union was not moved by FG's
threat to fire lecturers who refused to resume to work.
