Adamawa Poly Rector Prof. Ibrahim Gombi seeks Fintiri’s approval to recruit 70 lecturers

Prof. Ibrahim Umar, Rector, Adamawa State Polytechnic, has urged Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri to approve the recruitment of 70 academic staff, to fill the vacancies in some departments of the institution.

Umar made the call at the inauguration of the TETFund physical infrastructure projects in the institution on Monday in Yola.

He said that about 70 staff of the institution withdrew their services especially in the Department of Mass Communication, Christian Religious Education, Architectural Technology, Building Technology and School of Agriculture.

“However, some 70 of the 284 staff withdrew their services which created vacuum in some departments,” he said.

According to him, the polytechnic is one of the oldest tertiary institutions without a good road network.

In his address, Fintiri commended TETFund for the intervention in providing the necessary infrastructural development in the institution.

“We will continue to provide enabling environment for full accreditation of all the courses already earmarked to commence HND and degree programmes,” he said.

Fintiri enjoined the staff and students to be committed to their duties and studies as well as shun acts capable of breaking law and order in the institution.
