Borno: Zulum Suspends Ramat Poly\u2019s Entire Management after surprise visit to alma mater<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2026 Ministry takes over admin for six months<\/div>\n
\u2026. To Release Students Scholarships Soon<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During a surprise visit, Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum on Tuesday suspended the entire management of the state owned Ramat Polytechnic in Maiduguri, for a period of six months.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zulum was a student of the Polytechnic from 1986 to 1988 and bagged National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering before returning to the Polytechnic as rector from 2011 to 2015. The Governor was shocked to see workshops and laboratories were no longer functioning, as the \u201cPolytechnic is dead\u201d.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Governor visited the Polytechnic around 9:00am and found most of the laboratories out of use, with some covered by cobwebs and rodents roaming around due to neglect. Zulum assessed all infrastructures and learning conditions, and thereafter, directed the State\u2019s Commissioner of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Babagana Mallumbe to take over the affairs of the School immediately.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“As far as I am concerned, this Polytechnic is dead. Nothing is working. The workshops are not in existence, the mechanical workshop is not working, the agricultural workshop is not working, likewise the entrepreneurship centre is not working. The School is facing myriads of problems, ranging from lack of funding and commitment. As former student of this polytechnic, a former rector, I have moral stakes in this polytechnic. Insha\u2019Allah, I will not allow this polytechnic to rot during my era as Governor of Borno State. I will do everything possible within my reach to ensure functionality of this institution insha Allah.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I have directed the Commissioner of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation to take over the affairs for the next six months. The ministry is to ensure that all the Workshops and the laboratories are put back to use as soon as possible. The entrepreneurship centre should immediately be put back to use as well. When I was at the Polytechnic as rector, the entrepreneurship centre was producing nothing less than 10,000 to 20,000 school desks and chairs every month. We produced hospital beddings\u201d Zulum said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Governor held a closed door meeting with top management of the Polytechnic. He directed the ministry of water resources to drill two deep aquifers borehole and carry out a complete water channel network within the polytechnic, which is coming after prior interventions he approved for Polytechnic in 2019, to reduce problems of water supply.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2026 To Release Students Scholarships Soon<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, Governor Zulum, while addressing thousands of students at the premises of the polytechnic, gave assurance that payment of scholarships will commence soon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The verification exercise have just been completed, I want to assure you that as soon as the detailed report is forwarded to me, we will pay your scholarship immediately\u201d Zulum said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Governor was also at the federal secretariat, where enrollment excerscise of Batch C N-Power volunteers are been conducted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On arrival, Governor Zulum addressed thousands of applicants gathered for the biometric enrollment that will enable them get monthly federal government stipends. He assured them of state government’s support despite N-Power been federal government program.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After that, Governor Zulum personally coordinated the overcrowded environment in order to avoid any possibility for stampede as an immediate intervention, to ensure smooth conduct of the exercise.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
