Akwanga (Nasarawa State), May 3, 2017 (NAN) The Nacabs Polytechnic, Akwanga, Nasarawa State, has warned new students of the institution against cultism and other social vices or risk expulsion.
Mr David Abuluya, the Proprietor of the institution, gave the warning on Wednesday in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Akwanga.
Abuluya noted that cultism, examination malpractice, armed robbery, rape and other social vices had affected the education sector negatively.
He threatened that the management of the institution would not spare any student involved in acts of cultism, armed robbery, rape and other social vices.
The proprietor appealed to the Federal Government to include private tertiary institutions in the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) projects to boost the sector.
Besides, Abuluya urged the state government to support the institution with monthly grant.
“This polytechnic is known for its high academic standard and therefore will not in any way be compromised as we have all the necessary facilities on ground for effective teaching and learning.
“During our 5tth matriculation of the 229 newly admitted students, for the 2016/2017 academic session, I drew their attention to the nefarious activities of cult, armed robbery, examination malpractice, rape and other vices which have greatly affected our society.
“It is in view of this, I still want to use this opportunity to strongly advise students especially the newly matriculated students to steer clear of secret cult and other social vices and to brace up and face their studies squarely
“Any student found to be a member or join cultism will be expelled considering its negative effect to the society,’’ said the proprietor.
Abuluya therefore enjoined the students to take their studies seriously in order to excel in life as well as to complement their parent’s huge investment in their education.
He reiterated the institution’s commitment to the provision of an enabling environment for students and staff to improve on the standard of education in the country. (NAN)
