Gregory University, located in Uturu, Abia State, has publicly refuted recent claims circulating online that allege mistreatment and salary reductions of its academic staff. The institution categorically denies these accusations, attributing the misinformation to a faction of dissatisfied lecturers.

Clarifying the Salary Structure and Institutional Policies

In an official statement released by the university registrar, Vincent Maliki, the management emphasized that the remuneration framework for staff members remains equitable and competitive, especially within the context of a private university’s operational environment. Maliki stressed that any modifications to salaries strictly adhere to established university guidelines and are driven by necessary operational considerations.

Maintaining Academic Stability Amidst Rumors

Contrary to reports suggesting disruptions, Gregory University confirmed that all academic activities, including the ongoing Rain Semester examinations, are proceeding without interruption. The registrar reassured stakeholders that the institution remains steadfast in upholding academic excellence and operational continuity.

Commitment to Professionalism and Accountability

Maliki reiterated the university’s dedication to enforcing institutional regulations, such as the biometric attendance system, which are designed to promote transparency and professionalism among staff. He affirmed that the university will not be swayed by baseless allegations and will continue to implement policies that foster a productive and accountable work environment.

Addressing the Source of Negative Reports

The university also dismissed social media claims implicating the Servicom unit and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), suggesting that the negative narratives may stem from individuals engaged in unauthorized external employment, which conflicts with university regulations.
