Disengaged workers of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), Abia State, have appealed to the university authorities to reinstate them, saying they remain loyal to the institution.
The workers, who were disengaged in 2017, also dismissed reports linking the current Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Ngozi Akanwa, to their removal from service.
The affected workers had earlier taken the matter to court but later withdrew the case, according to sources.
In a statement issued by Reverend Ifeanyi Remy on behalf of the 2017 disengaged staff members, the workers said they were awaiting favourable consideration of their situation by the university authorities.
The statement read in part: “We, the 2017 suspended members of staff of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), issue this press statement to set the record straight and correct the misinformation suggesting that the current Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ursula Ngozi Akanwa, was responsible for the university’s recent staff recruitment exercise or the removal of any staff members.
