Read Time:47 Second
Authorities of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), yesterday vowed to resist further protests by its workers.
It described the repeated protests by some members of staff of the university as ill-motivated.
Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC) Prof. Olatunde Arayela, who addressed a news conference in Akure, said there was no basis for the protests.
According to him, calls by the protesters for the resignation of the Vice Chancellor (VC), Prof Adebiyi Daramola, was uncalled for as he had not been found guilty of any offence.
He noted that the VC and Bursar appeared before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for various allegations against them, but the anti-graft agency had begun investigation.
He, therefore, advised the aggrieved workers to wait till the EFCC concluded its investigations on the matter.
Some non-academic staff of the institution
last week embarked on a peaceful demonstration to protest the continuous stay in office of Prof. Daramola.
