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.
In a statement made available to IGBERE TV by Barr. Chris Ezem, Secretary to the State Government says Ikpeazu’s administration 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.
As part of the measure to reposition the institution, Government hereby announce the immediate dissolution and suspension of the council and management of the institution respectively.
Inline with the foregoing, Government has approved the constitution of a taskforce to restore the Accreditation of Abiapoly within 30days, membership of the taskforce include;
