According to Chiaghanam, the Anambra State government is adequately funding the university with prompt payment of staff salaries, infrastructure, and enabling environment for academic activities.
“We don’t receive our payments through IPPIS. The revitalisation is a general matter. Our state government always pay our salaries; arrears, pensions, and promotions have been cleared. Our University is running smoothly. That is why we don’t have to join the strike. Go round the university community to confirm to yourself… You can see students being attended to”.
