The Governing Council of Federal Polytechnic Bida, Niger, has summoned the immediate past Rector, Dr. Abubakar Abdul-Dzukogi, to address certain issues concerning his administration. This invitation was announced following the council’s recent meeting in Bida.
Chairman of the Council, Alhaji Ismail Muazu-Hassan, stated that Dr. Abdul-Dzukogi is expected to appear before the council to provide clarity on various matters related to his eight-year tenure. He was originally scheduled to attend on Friday but requested an extension, citing insufficient preparation time and health challenges.
In light of his reasons, the council granted him an additional ten days to present himself and clarify the issues at hand. Muazu-Hassan emphasized the importance of this meeting, noting that it aims to establish a clear record of the former rector’s administration. “We are not saying he has not done well, but want him to clarify some issues pertaining to his 8 years of administration,” he remarked.
The council chair also reassured stakeholders that the incumbent leadership would uphold the institution’s standards in all academic and extracurricular activities, reiterating the council’s commitment to the institution’s development. He expressed confidence that the council would support the current leadership in advancing the polytechnic’s goals
