Enugu State University of Technology, ESUT, Enugu has reportedly sacked 153 lecturers. According to reports, no reasons for the dismissal have been given by the management, although sources disclosed that the dismissal cut across various departments in the institution.
One of the sack letters obtained by Vanguard said, "I am directed to inform you and you are hereby informed that the university is presently not positioned to employ you. You should, therefore, hand over any university property in your possession to the Head of Department. If, however, your services are required in the future by the university, you will be informed accordingly.”
Some of the dismissed lecturers, who formed a group called, ‘Disengaged Members of Staff of ESUT', expressed their bitterness, adding that it was unfair for the University to employ them for the sake of getting accredited by the National Universities Commission, NUC, then relieving them of their duties once this was achieved.
