University of Ibadan has requested staff on essential services to resume at their duty posts from Monday, 08 March, 2021 while other Heads of Divisions/Units/ Centres were also requested to determine modalities for ensuring smooth operations of their mandates.
The decision of the school was contained in press statement signed by management and obtained by FRESHPAGE.COM.NG
“Management has noted the protracted strike by staff unions and Covid-19 pandemic which brought all academic and administrative activities in the University to a grinding halt for almost one year, to the effect that the University Senate approved the cancellation of 2019/2020 Session.
“Fortunately, most of the contentious issues have been resolved while others are being resolved locally or nationally.
“Management appreciates the maturity, intelligence, wisdom and outstanding experience displayed by the leadership of the Unions.
“With the new breath of air in the University Administration, we need to move forward to sustain the pride of place of our University among world-class institutions being enabled by our staff and students.
“It is our resolve to raise the bar of exceptional legacy in University governance and structure bequeathed to us by our forebears.
“Management appreciates your cooperation and solicits your understanding in this regard”.
