The Dean Student Affairs Prof. Nwankwo Martins Uchenna has refuted claims that Imo State University, Owerri (IMSU) has quit the ongoing ASUU strike.

The Dean made this assertion, while fielding questions on the purported jettisoning of the ASUU strike by IMSU, in a text statement sent to IMSU STAR NEWSPAPER Correspondent Duru Victor on Saturday (last week).

This is following the withdrawal of some universities from the ASUU strike, the lastest of which is the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU).

Prof. Martins also revealed that the Non-academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) IMSU Chapter hasn't called off its industrial action, laying to bed another rumor that IMSU-NASU had called off its strike.

He said: "Imo State University, Owerri is 100% on strike, both teaching and non-teaching staff".

Meanwhile, while the ASUU strike lingers with the purported meeting between both parties today unlikely, first semester lectures have fully commenced at the IMSU Study Centre of the National Teachers' Institute (NTI) for 2019/2020 academic session.
