The management of the Cross River University of Technology, CRUTECH has described the rumor of the institution resumption as being peddled on social media claiming that the institution has announced its resumption date as a misinformation.

In a release signed by Mr. Onen E. Onen, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of CRUTECH on Tuesday, September 22, 2020,  made available to The Lumine News, indicates that in line with the directives of Covid-19 protocol and the Governor, Sen. Prof. Ben Ayade, the management of CRUTECH will announce a resumption date in due course.

The release reads in parts “The attention of the Management has been drawn to a misinformation trending on social media, in which Cross River University of Technology is said to have released a date of resumption for the 2019/2020 academic session.

“We wish to state categorically, that the said information which is being peddled by mischief makers, is totally false and does not emanate from the University or any of it’s organs. It is a fake publication aimed at misinforming the general public. From investigation, the mischievous information was merely copied and inserted on our university’s name from another fake announcement credited to another university.

“While waiting for official directives on resumption, we implore the general public to discountenance the fake information on circulation and that, in line with the directives of the Presidency and of the Governor, Senator Prof. Ben Ayade, Cross River University of Technology will release her resumption details in due course”
