The Federal University of Technology Owerri’s administration has been removed from office by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
This was revealed to journalists in Owerri on Friday by the acting union chairman, comrade Frank Ojiako, the acting secretary, comrade Chinyere Onwachu, as well as other parties involved.
One of the justifications they provided for Mr. Ihejirika’s suspension was that the suspended exco had allegedly been failing to deliver financial reports to congress for nearly two years, in violation of the constitution’s requirement for quarterly delivery. This is a significant constitutional violation that is intolerable and repugnant.
“The treasurer of the union is the principal signatory to the ASUU FUTO bank accounts ,it is a constitutional requirement that in the unforseen absence of the treasurer ,Congress should be convened to elect a new treasurer.
“The chairperson of the suspended exco has been unable to conduct election to fill the vacant position of the office treasurer of the union who has been on leave of absence to the United States for the past one year.”
” In order to restore normalcy and safeguard our common patrimony ,it therefore became necessary that the ASUU exco ,as then constituted should be constitutionally jettisoned ,having outlived its usefulness. A congress was contravened and the lackkuster exco unanimously suspended and a new exco appointed on the interim basis.
