FCFMT: JORAISU Calls for End to Tenure Extension of Dr. Chucks Onuoha

…..Urges Compliance with Public Service Regulations as Extension Nears Expiration

The Joint Research and Allied Institutions Staff Union JORAISU has demanded that the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology FCFMT enforce the end of Dr. Chucks Onuoha’s tenure as Provost when his four-month extension expires in mid-November.

In a letter dated October 23, 2024, addressed to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the union emphasized that the extension was granted as a temporary measure while warning that any further extension would not only violate public service regulations but also erode the institution’s credibility.

The letter obtained by Nigerianews24.com.ng, signed by JORAISU Chairman Kabir Mohammed, highlighted that both the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the Federal Ministry of Marine Resources had been formally notified of the tenure expiration. It argued that Onuoha has compromised the Ministry of blue economy by China’s must go method.

The union further urged these ministries to uphold the rule of law by ensuring a seamless transition of leadership. It proposed that a subordinate officer assume an acting capacity until a substantive Provost is appointed, emphasizing that such a move is critical to maintaining the integrity and accountability of the institution.

The union further cautioned that granting another extension would have severe consequences, including public backlash, legal challenges, and reputational damage for the college and the ministries involved. They argued that strict adherence to public service regulations is essential for preserving institutional integrity and preventing abuses of power that could destabilize the institution.

JORAISU concluded its appeal by warning that allowing Dr. Onuoha to remain in office beyond the stipulated period would undermine trust in public service. The union called on the relevant authorities to prioritize transparency and accountability in overseeing the transition process, ensuring the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology sets a standard for compliance with public service laws.
