The polytechnic stated this in a statement issued by its public relations officer (PRO) Mallam Hussaini Enagi and made available to journalists on Friday in Bida, stressing that the reappointment of the rector was right and proper, highlighting that clarification has been obtained from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF).
The Rector disclosed during the opening ceremony of a One Day Retreat on the restoration of peace, peaceful coexistence and understanding amongst the staff, students and management for a lasting peace in the institution. “The institution required N22 million for the payments of staff allowances on monthly basis from the IGR in which we have agreed with the union to pay the backlog which we already started but the fact still remains that the sector is under funded and we want government to intervene in the matter,” he said. Speaking on the purpose of the retreat, Dzukogi said the major aim of the retreat was for the stakeholders to be more enlightened and understand better, the policy trust of his administration.
