The expulsion, which was contained in a
statement by the Information and Public Relations Unit of the institution yesterday signed by Adebola Ogunboyowa, said the students were expelled following
the outcome of the regular verification exercise for 2020/2021 academic
session.
According to Ogunboyowa, the affected
students were involved in forgery and falsification of results to gain
admission into National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND)
programmes.
Ogunboyowa said the expelled students cut
across different departments in the polytechnic, adding that the Rector of the
institution, Dr Salisu Umar, had proposed 12 new programmes to commence in
2022/2023 academic session.
The PRO listed the programmes as follows:
Printing Technology; Welding and
Fabrication Technology; Procurement and
Supply Chain Management; Library and Information Science;Taxation; Leisure;
Tourism Management Technology and Social Development.
Others are: Microfinance and Enterprise
Development; Computer Engineering
Technology; Economics and Development
Studies; Agricultural Extension and Management; and Crop Production Technology.
According to her, the idea was in line with
the Rector’s commitment to reposition the polytechnic and make it enviable in
the nation and beyond.
“In pursuit of the rector’s vision, 12 new
programmes at both National Diploma and Higher National Diploma are proposed
for resource inspection by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
“Ten of the proposed programmes are ND
level while two are at HND level,” Ogunboyowa said.
She added that the institution was set for
re-accreditation of all programmes in the polytechnic, noting that the
management had improved on the existing infrastructure and procured necessary
equipments to ensure that no programme is denied accreditation.
Ogunboyowa said the Rector urged all Deans
of School and Heads of Departnents schedule for various stages of accreditation
to put in their best to compliment the management efforts.
