Claim: A viral post making rounds on social media has a claim that FUOYE management has declared tutorials and instructed the university’s students to resume.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Special Adviser to the VC on media matters has debunked the claim.\u00a0 He clarified that the school cannot resume until the current Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) strike is called off.

Full Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday 17th April, an announcement started circulating on  WhatsApp groups and other social media platforms in relation to the students of Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE). The narrative was that the university management, under the leadership of Professor Sunday Abayomi, has \u201cdeclared tutorials and instructed students to resume on the 27th of April, 2022. The post added that the information was made public in \u201ca statement signed and made available to pressmen by the Registrar of FUOYE, Mr. Ganiyu Oke Saliu,\u201d on Thursday 14th April, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viral announcement further alleged that the tutorial became necessary in order to prepare students for the university’s examination which would commence as soon as the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) strike is called off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some students doubt the accuracy of such an announcement, other students already tired of the continuous strike wish it was true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example is one Oyinkansola who wished the message was real. \u201cIt should be real ooooo\u2026 I’m tired of staying at home,\u201d Oyinkansola wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, DUBAWA fact-checked a similar announcement<\/a> that was also eventually confirmed by the university’s vice-chancellor to be fake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The clear grammatical errors found in the body of the claim is the first red flag. Aside from the practice of official statements from the school being circulated in a memorandum format,  there is inaccuracy in the identity of the registrar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has an Acting Registrar whose name is different from the one that allegedly signed the circulating claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mufutau A. Ibrahim is the name of FUOYE’s Acting Registrar. He also provided a copy of the souvenir that was distributed at the university’s convocation ceremony, held in December, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching for the name, \u201cGaniyu Oke Saliu\u201d on Google, DUBAWA came across a March, 2022 news article<\/a> that referred to the bearer as the Registrar of Olusegun Agagu University of Science & Technology (OAUSTECH) located in Okitipupa, Ondo state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, during a visit to the university’s website, DUBAWA found another news article that<\/a> referred to Mr. Ganiyu as the Registrar of OAUSTECH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Students\u2019 Union Public Relations Officer of FUOYE, Adedokun Abolore, also debunked this viral claim through his WhatsApp status. He advised the students to always visit the union’s social media outlets for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Dubawa contacted Wole Balogun, the Special Adviser to the VC on Media Matters who also debunked the claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not possible, ASUU is on strike. We cannot do anything in school because ASUU is on strike now. This is not just possible at all,\u201d Mr Balogun said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further clarified that \u201cthe Acting Registrar of FUOYE is Mr. Ibrahim Mufutau and not one Ganiu Oke Saliu. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The information being circulated about the resumption of Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) for tutorials during the current ASUU strike is false.
