FUTA students resume Sunday, begin lectures Monday
The Senate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has approved a revised academic calendar to continue the 2020/2021 academic session.
This is contained in a statement by FUTA registrar Richard Arifalo on Thursday in Akure.
The statement said lectures leading to the completion of the first semester would resume on Monday, while students would be expected on campus from Sunday.
The statement added that the approval was given at a special meeting of the senate on Wednesday.
The development followed the suspension of the eighth-month-long strike by university lecturers nationwide, which disrupted academic activities in universities.
It wished all students a safe trip back to the institution’s campus.
