For failure to come back to classrooms, the Senate of the Federal 
University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has sacked all academic staff on 
its payroll with immediate effect. The sack order was made known by the 
Public Relations Officers (PRO) of the institution, Mr Chike Ezenwa, 
while speaking with the Nigerian Tribune in Owerri, through telephone. 
 In accordance with him, the senate of the university had declared most 
of the positions of academic staff in the institution, adding that they 
would be advertised beginning Monday, December 2. 
 The senate 
council, he explained, had already compiled the set of vacant positions

 protected..
