NANS Calls for Immediate Appointment of Rector in FEDPOFFA
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called for immediate appointment of substantive Rector at the Federal Polytechnic Offa.
The NANS President, Comrade SUNDAY Asefon made this call in a statement issued on Monday.
The Association noted that Federal Government has failed to appoint new Rector for over nine months.
The statement read:
“National Association of Nigerian Students being the umbrella body of all Nigerian Students schooling within and outside the country is compelled to seek clarification from Honourable Minister of Education, the Governing Council of Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State and other necessary stakeholders on the reason(s) behind the continuous delay in the pronouncement of a *Substantive Rector* for Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State since the expiration of tenure of Dr. AbdulLateef Olatunji.
Ordinarily, the umbrella body of Students could have remain silence with a nonchalant attitude, but the precarious effect of lacuna in the position of the Polytechnic Rector is causing more harm than good both academically and issues related to the welfare and well being of the entire students and the Polytechnic community in general.
The inability of the School Management to release the result of F18 and F19 graduates over 9months ago, perilous state of Student’s hostel and classrooms, inconsequential policies among other obnoxious happenings in the Polytechnic can not be unconnected to the lack of a Pronounced Leader who can take responsibility and be responsible.
Without further vituperation, NANS and the generality of Students of The Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State DEMANDS FOR IMMEDIATE Pronouncement of A SUBSTANTIVE RECTOR without prejudice to the statutory criteria and existing formal process. Unfortunately, our teaming peace-loving Students in the Polytechnic can no longer afford to be a victim of circumstances!
Conclusively, we call on ALL the Concerned Stakeholders to come to the rescue of the imminent collapse of the Polytechnic occasioned by the continuous VACCUM in the position of the Rector and Chief Executive Officer of the Polytechnic.
