The management of the Imo state university, IMSU, on Monday 19 September, 2022, pulled out from the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The school management also announced that it has opened the university for academic activities.
This was made known to newsmen in Owerri, by the IMSU, Public Relations Officer, PRO, Ralph Njoku.
According to him, the management opined that should they continue to delay, the school would lose so many students who are desirous of education especially applicants who were yet to be matriculated.
However, he said that the school has no issue with ASSU and that the decision was to prevent any action to shortchange the next generation.
Njoku said, “The management has decided to open the university for academic activities. We don’t have any issue with ASSU we just open the school for academic activities. Lecturers who are willing will now come to start lecturing.
“We decided that we don’t want to shortchange our next generation. Just like the 2022 applicants, we have not even matriculated them and we are coming up with 2022/2023 if we keep delaying we will lose so many people who are desirous of University education. So, we felt it is time to hold the bull by the horn.”
