The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Prof Adebiyi Daramola, yesterday said no worker was disengaged by the management.

He announced in a meeting that only the institution’s primary school workers were disengaged.

He said the development was sequel to the Federal Government’s directive, which ordered universities not to fund their staff schools.

He added that the affected teachers were given proper notice before they were laid off.

The VC maintained that the management provided a soft landing for the teachers as they were allowed to re-apply for their old jobs.

He expressed his concern that the leadership of the Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) mandated the disengaged staff not to apply.

He added that the intervention of the Deji of Akure, Oba Ogunlade Aladetoyinbo and the Commissioner of Police, Mike Ogbodu, to prevail on the disengaged teachers to re-apply was done by the leadership of the two labour unions.

He warned the sacked teachers not to cause crisis in the university.

He disagreed with the notion that the university was embroiled in crisis, saying there is peace in the university.

Daramola noted that the disengaged workers were paid their entitlements through their pension fund administrators, and the university did not owe any of them.
