The Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki says it will not embark on a rush of academic activities in spite of the interruption caused by the strike of university lecturers in the country.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Francis Idike, said this on Saturday in Ikwo when he led the institution’s management on a visit to Governor Martin Elechi.
“Rushing academic activities would only worsen the situation but we would offer quality tutorials to cushion the effect of the strike,” he said.
The Vice Chancellor noted that the institution would conclude the 2012/13 second semester in March 2014 and would start the 2013/2014 academic session immediately.
Idike added: “We hope to conclude the new session by November 2014 if no further disruptions are recorded during the session.
“Everybody must cooperate to achieve this goal as the only thing it would cost the students is to forgo their normal holidays.”
In his response, Elechi congratulated the university authority over various development projects and urged the management to ensure that the lost period caused by the strike was covered.
