Abia State government on Wednesday night sacked the entire members of the Abia State Polytechnic Management team led by Elder John Nwangborogwu.
Others members of the polytechnic council include Dr. Kalu Osonwa, the Polytechnic rector, Oriaku Chinyere (Registrar) Omenihu Friday (Bursar), Ndulaka Chigozie (Librarian) and Nwogu Jude (Director of Works Services).
The dissolution of the management was coming about 24hrs after the leadership of the Nigeria Board for Technical Education (NBTE) announced the de-accreditation of all the courses offered in the state owned polytechnic over unpaid 30 months workers salaries. This is even as NBTE equally vowed that they were going to stop at nothing to ensure that the school didn’t mobilize students for the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for the next batch stream.
A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barr. Chris Ezem who disclosed that the decision of the NBTE was embarrassing and capable of destablizing the current peace and harmony existing in the state, appealed for calm among members of the polytechnic community.
Members of the task force set up by the state government to ensure the restoration of the accreditation of the institution within 30 days include Prof. Ikechi Mgboji -Chairman, Dr. John Nwadioha – member, Hon. Jude Udeachara- member, Rev.Fr. Kelechi Anyanwu Ph.D- member, Mrs Love Ezema, mni- Member and Mr Stanley Nwankpa (SUG) President of Abiapoly- member.
The statement read, “following the recent action of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) against Abia State Polytechnic Aba, the Governor of Abia State, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu Ph.D, appeals to our dear students of Abiapoly and other well meaning Abians to remain calm.
“Government views the decision of NBTE against the institution as very embarrassing and capable of destablizing the current peace and harmony existing in the state,as the fate of the students of the institution appears to be jeopardized by the said action.
“It must be placed on record that Academic activities have been ongoing in the institution without interruptions; the teachers and staff of Abiapoly were not on strike and have remained committed to their duties.
