Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) is unfazed by
the current nationwide strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) over differences with Federal Government.
Prof. Barineme Fakae, Vice Chancellor (VC) of the University who
confirmed this yesterday however did not explain why the varsity has
defied the nationwide strike by public owned universities.

Investigations revealed that the school is in full academic activities as the end of session examinations are just a week away.
A Marine Engineering student who spoke on the situation said, “RSUST
under its current leadership has never taken ASUU seriously since August
2012 when the branch chapter stopped lecturing over perceived unfair
reappointment of Fakae as VC by Governor Amaechi.
“You are aware the Governor has since ordered a no-work-no-pay
punishment for the striking lecturers as the school engaged replacement
lecturers to keep lectures going. As it defied the local chapter so has
the authorities defied the current general strike. Everything is running
normal here.”
Another student, of Mass Communication Department, said, “My father
didn’t believe it at first. My elder brother in UNIPORT has been home in
Delta due to the strike for over six weeks and my father thought I was
playing pranks not to have returned. He had to call a RSUST lecturer to
confirm there is no strike in my school.
