       Sack Looms At Imo Varsity Over Waivers
       By: Ebenezer Date: August 15, 2013, 2:05 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       THERE are strong indications that some
       academic and non-academic staff of Imo
       State University, IMSU, Owerri, may lose their
       jobs, following a directive from Governor
       Rochas Okorocha, that staff employed
       without appropriate waivers be disengaged
       immediately.
       The Governor through a memo, GH/PL/
       S.164/XXII/331, addressed to the Vice
       Chancellor of the institution and signed by
       his Principal Secretary, Dr. paschal C. Obi,
       directed that staff employed without
       appropriate waivers be disengaged
       immediately.
       According to the memo, “I am directed to
       refer to the above subject matter
       (Disengagement of staff employed without
       appropriate waiver) and to convey the
       directive of the Executive Governor of Imo
       State, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha, for
       the immediate disengagement of all staff,
       both academic and non-academic, engaged
       by the Imo State University without
       appropriate waivers.”
       While warning that “this is the last and final
       directive on this issue”, the Governor equally
       directed IMSU management to “take urgent
       steps to implement” his directive.
       In a move to implement the directive, the
       Acting Registrar of IMSU, Mr. A. N. Igbojekwe,
       has written all heads of department and
       deans of schools on the issue of
       appointments.
       The memo dated July 29, 2013, made it clear
       that “all those who were converted and
       whose conversions were put on hold, are
       required to apply for appointment to the
       posts the deem themselves qualified for”.
       The Acting Registrar referred to a recent
       advertisement for academic staff vacancies
       and stressed “the need to provide an
       opportunity for those, who would have had
       their appointments terminated based on the
       deemed irregularities, having been done in
       the absence of council or waiver from
       government”, to re-apply.
       The above mentioned group of people
       should please apply formally so as to be
       subjected to due process. Failure to comply
       would lead to the termination of their
       current appointments.”
       It was gathered that most of the affected
       staff were engaged ahead of the recent
       accreditation exercise carried out by the
       National Universities Commission, NUC.
