The management of Federal University of Technology Owerri has again been summoned by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to it's public hearing over alleged extortion, victimization and criminal breach of duty.
C. Onanuju and Williams Akionbare, two lecturers of the federal institution were equally summoned by the Senate Committee.
The reason for the summoning to the public hearing, we gather is related to the petition written by the law chamber of M.A. Ogbodogbo on behalf of a student of FUTO, Mr Brain Otobha.
It will be recalled that the last time the committee sat over the issue been on July 13, 2021, a resolution was reached that the hearing be extended to enable the respondents appear.
The petitioner, (Otobha), a student of Project Management Technology Department with Registration Number 20091700346, is accusing his lecturers of stalling his graduation since 2014 by deliberately failing him in some of the examinations he sat for.
All the parties would now appear for the public hearing on Tuesday, 12, October 2021 at Room 120, New Senate Building of the National Assembly Complex, Abuja by 1:00pm.
Otobha, who is an indigene of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, alleged that he was being punished for refusing to yield to financial request by his course teachers.
With the assumption of the new FUTO Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nnenna Oti, Otobha is hopeful that the issue will be revisited by the institution and he allowed to graduate.
