UNIABUJA To Resume Dec. 1st (with Revised Academic Calender

The management of The University Of Abuja
(Uniabuja) has released an official
statement signed by the school’s registrar
Mallam M.B Modibbo, directing its students
to resume academic activities on sunday,
the 1st of December, 2013.
Speaking with a top management staff this
morning (name witheld), Academics Nigeria
gathered that the publication of the
statement came as a follow up of the
directive of The Federal Government
(represented by Pro-Chancellors) that all
Federal Universities should re-open for
continuation of academic activities.
Academics Nigeria has also received calls
from students who re-affirmed that the
date of resumption has been aired out both
on radio stations and television stations.
However, one is not certain that academic
activities will continue as usual as calls to the
University’s ASUU chairman Dr. Clement Chup
to react to the directive was not answered.
During an interview with political platform(A
progrramme organized by Ray Power) this
morning, Dr. Clement Chup said that ASUU
did not close down federal universities and
so will not be responsible for re-opening
them.
Most lecturers in the university who spoke to
Academics Nigeria said that although it is
their wish to return back to the classrooms,
they will not do so until all issues between
them (ASUU) and the Federal Government
has been resolved.
Meanwhile students of the university can
seize this opporturnity to continue their
course registration and screening exercises.
Below is the proposed revised academic
calender for 2012/2013 academic session.
