The Senate of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) at its 493rd Extra-ordinary meeting held on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, deliberated extensively on the press releases by the Owerri Zone of ASUU at Awka, Anambra State which disparaged and denigrated the office and person of the Vice-Chancellor of FUTO, Prof. (Mrs.) Nnenna N.

He therefore enjoys the full privileges and rights of a FUTO Professor.

3. Affirmed that the prima facie case for the appointment of Prof. Isa Ibrahim was established and approved by the then University Governing Council prior to the appointment of Prof. (Mrs.) N. N. Oti as the 8th Substantive Vice-Chancellor of FUTO.

4. Established that no Executive member of ASUU-FUTO was suspended by Management.

5. Condemned in very strong terms, the provocative and unsubstantiated allegation of corruption against the person of Prof. Mrs. Nnenna N. Oti.

7. That the Executive of ASUU-FUTO Branch, led by Dr. Chinedu E. Ihejirika should render written and unreserved apologies to the Vice-Chancellor, Council, Senate, Management and FUTO Community at large, for spreading falsehood, and colluding with external forces to embarrass and bring into disrepute the good image of the University.

8. Demands that ASUU-Owerri Zone should retract the very offensive press releases and apologize to the Vice-Chancellor of FUTO within two (2) weeks from the date of this publication or the University will be compelled to seek legal redress.

DISCLAIMER

The attention of the Federal University of Technology Owerri has been drawn to a spurious circulation on social media purporting that FUTO has ceded some portions of its land.

The Management of FUTO hereby informs the public that the University has not ceded any inch of its land under any guise to any individual or group as purported in the circulation.

The news of purported cession of FUTO's land is, therefore, fake and baseless as it is the handiwork of unscrupulous land grabbers and mischievous rumour mongers who are out to dupe unsuspecting members of the public. The public is urged to disregard the unfounded circulation, and beware of scammers.

For the avoidance of doubt, members of the public are advised to always conduct a search at the Imo State Ministry of Lands before buying any land within the vicinity of FUTO's land, or contact the University Registrar for clarification and advice.
