FUOYE: We’ve not announced resumption date

The management of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), has described as fake, the reports that the institution would resume academic activities on October 10 2022.

A viral report, which has FUOYE logo, had stated that the university management announced and slated the resumption date for academic activities for October 10.

It also added that on the said date, both fresh and returning students of the university would resume.

Reacting to the reports, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abayomi Fasina, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media Matters, Wole Balogun, said FUOYE was not making any plan to resume academic activities yet.

Balogun stated: “Members of the public and particularly our teeming students are enjoined to ignore the fake news currently going viral on the social media that the institution is resuming academic activities on October 10, 2022.

“This is false and the handiwork of some idle hands who are mischievously out to misinform unsuspecting members of the public.

“FUOYE has not announced any date for resumption of academic activities; so any news laying claim to such is fake and should be so dismissed by the general public.

“If and when the coast is clear for resumption of academic activities on our twin campuses in Oye-Ekiti and Ikole-Ekiti respectively, the institution will convey the message to our students via the appropriate and official means,” he noted.
