FUOYE Plans Online Matriculation despite ASUU Strike

The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Prof. Kayode Soremekun, has announced an on matriculation scheduled for August 28.

While disclosing this on Monday July 20, 2020, Prof Soremikun stated the industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities would not prevent the ceremony.

Recently, the Ibadan Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Prof. Ade Adejumo, faulted the virtual matriculation of Osun State University in Osogbo, describing it as a scam.

The FUOYE VC said he was not answerable to ASUU and had the right to run the university.

Soremekun said about 6,000 students had been admitted for the 2019/2020 academic session across various disciplines.

β€œWe are having virtual matriculation on August 28 for 2019/2020 academic session.

β€œIt will be virtual in the sense that we will put all the students on alert and in order to avoid the crowd crush, only the principal officers, Dean of Students Affairs and the Vice Chancellor will be there,” the VC said.
