The management of Imo State University has announced its determination to open the university for academic activities in contempt of the ongoing national strike by ASUU, the chairperson of ASUU-IMSU, Odinakachukwu Ejiogu, said in response to the development.
“ASUU-IMSU wishes to state that she stands with the national body in the ongoing national struggle for our collective welfare and the survival of public university education in Nigeria and has not pulled out of the ongoing strike. Not even when we have numerous unsettled welfare issues in IMSU.
“We have summoned an emergency exco meeting for 20th September, 2022, to evaluate the entire situation and inform the relevant stakeholders accordingly.
