We also have cases whereby those students that bought books and those that did not buy will be separated. This is pure wickedness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201dBuying of text books is not a justification for students to pass their examination. We always encourage our students to read their books, that is why we insisted that lecturers who have books should place it on our school bookshops and not make it compulsory for students to buy them. Despite our clear intentions, some cabals are not happy\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He explained further that examination malpractices, cultism, social vices, forgery of result to get admission in the Polytechnic is now a thing of the past and warned that the current management would deal decisively with anyone found wanting and breaking the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He thanked the Governor Yahaya Bello for providing funding support to the institution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Earlier, the President, National Association of Nigeria Student, (NANS), Sunday Asefon passed a vote of confidence on the Rector, for his exemplary leadership in transforming the institution<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Asefon lauded the Rector for the uninterrupted academic calendar saying, \u2018 since he came on board, examination has been going on as at when due\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Speaking further, the NANS President said \u201cTwo year ago, whoever that is passing through this federal road, you won\u2019t know if there is a Polytechnic here. But today, things have changed. For you to change the institution from glorified primary school to a 21st century Polytechnic is very commendable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Asefon explained further that, \u201cit is on record that there is a rector in the history of the country that stopped lecturers from selling text books and extortion of students. This is what we want because of the economic reality in the country\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"..\u00a0 Kogi State Polytechnic Lokoja has suspended a lecturer for allegedly forcing students to buy text books before&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,136,2],"tags":[34,138],"class_list":{"0":"post-1278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-crime","7":"category-education","8":"category-news","9":"tag-kogi","10":"tag-kogi-poly"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
