Imo State Varsity Pulls Out Of ASUU Strike, Opens For Academic Session

Imo State University (IMSU) has pulled out of the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and announced that it has opened the university for academic activities.

The spokesman of the institution, Ralph Njoku, made this known in a statement on Monday.

He said the decision taken by the management was to halt the loss of students who are desirous of education especially applicants who were yet to be matriculated.

Part of the statement reads: “The management has decided to open the university for academic activities. We don’t have any issue with ASSU we just opened 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.”
