You should endeavour to obtain, read and digest the revised edition of the students\u2019 information handbook that will be distributed through your respective departments. Ignorance of the law has no place in this school and will not be condoned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cIndiscipline, poor academic performance, unruly behaviour and insubordination are highly forbidden in this institution. You are therefore expected to exhibit a high sense of discipline while in the polytechnic, as the institution will not award its certificates to students that are deficient in character and learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cCultism is completely forbidden on our campus, all the visible and invisible security architectures of the polytechnic placed in so many strategic places have preventive mechanisms to deal with cultists, their sympathizers and their sponsors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cStudents are advised to stay safe and free from all cult-related lifestyles. Students are also advised to report any move intended to intimidate, lure them into or enlist them in cultism from any quarters to the security unit,\u201d he advised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Meanwhile, Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr Salisu Ogbo made a passionate appeal to the Joint Admission and Matriculations Board to reconsider giving the institution a Computer Based Test Examination Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Ogbo regretted that the former CBTE Centre approval for the institution ran into a hitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Rector disclosed that following the alleged action or inaction of staff of the institution, the CBTE Centre was penalized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He added that the matter is, however, being addressed administratively with the view to unravelling the circumstances leading to why the centre ran into the hitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Rector called on the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede to kindly look into the appeal for the approval of a CBTE Centre for the Polytechnic.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8230;Rector appeals to JAMB to lift restriction on CBT centre No fewer than 6216 students of Kogi State&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[138],"class_list":{"0":"post-2724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-kogi-poly"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
