POLY OKO BODY MATERIALS NBTE COMMENDS FED POLY OKO ON INFRASTRUCTURE The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has commended the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State over infrastructural development and expressed confidence that the Rector of the institution, Prof. Godwin Onu has what it takes to sustain the tempo and make the polytechnic envy of other institutions. The Executive Secretary of NBTE, Dr. Mas udu Adamu Kazaure in an interview with POLYNEWS in Abuja also applauded the peace and tranquility in the polytechnic which he believed contributed to the rapid transformation of the Federal Polytechnic Oko and enjoined the Staff and students of the institution to work with the management to make the school number one in the country. Assessing the performance of the Board, Kazaure noted that since the establishment of NBTE in 1974 it has done well in terms of quality control on Polytechnics, Technical Colleges of Education and other institutions. According to him, we accredit, review and develop new calendars, workshops for the institutions and we have done well in this area , adding that the greatest challenge for the Board is the Higher National Diploma( HND)/Bachelors Degree (B.Sc) dichotomy which he said has become worse such that people avoid going for polytechnic education. Calling for creation of another body for polytechnics, he noted that there are over 400 institutions under the NBTE made up of about 75 polytechnics, 85 Innovation Centres, 161 Technical Education, 45 vocational enterprises among others and insisted that the idea of splitting the work load of NBTE is a welcome one. Giving support to the creation of Polytechnic Commission to oversee affairs of polytechnics in the country as their counterpart the Nigeria Universities Commission does for universities, he applauded the development of education in the country especially of Polytechnics where technical training dominates. There is need to believe in ourselves to be able to do more. Government is putting in funds the much they can but it is on record that there is no where in the world where government alone shoulder the responsibility of the development of education sector. It behooves on the private sector to appreciate the circumstance and make more in puts. He stated. He urged Polytechnics in the country to go entrepreneurial in their teaching and learning, disclosing that NBTE has commenced a project which recognizes talents even on the streets which he said is geared towards harnessing talents at the grass root level for future development. He commended the Rectors of Polytechnics for maintaining law and order in their environments and noted that some Polytechnics require perimeter fencing to checkmate the activities of miscreants adding that NBTE is working towards achieving that. MANAGEMENT RESOLVES WITH ASUP The Management of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko has agreed to pay “excess workload” allowance to teaching staff of the polytechnic.

Prof. Godwin Onu (Rector) He said the polytechnic had changed for good and urged the new employees not to see their jobs as an avenue to make money through extortion and corruption. “Reduce your appetite and realize now that the Federal Polytechnic, Oko is not an oil well. Be contented with your salary. You can make money without extorting students. When you give in to temptation, one day the Devil will dig you out. Mark your scripts and give your service unconditionally. By giving students what they are not worth, you are only destroying them,” the rector said. He said the new staff should regard their jobs as a lifeline, which could catapult them to great heights, if they were dedicated. He disclosed that more than 20,000 qualified applicants applied for the less than 300 vacant positions that have just been filled, which according to him showed how much people were now identifying with the success story of the Federal Polytechnic Oko. According to him, “I came in with a dream to see Oko become one of the best institutions in Nigeria. Since March, 2010, so much has been done to materialize this dream in the environment, structures, staff welfare, dedication of staff to duty and the performance of the students”. He charged the new staff to be part of the success story, adding: “follow the rules at all times and your mistakes will be minimal”. Mr. Tony Nwaokolobia (Registrar) The Registrar of the polytechnic, Mr. Tony Nwaokolobia, said the orientation was organized to get the new employees to key into the vision and drive of the polytechnic, and to get them familiar with the their roles as staff.

According to him, “entrepreneurship courses are compulsory for every student no matter the discipline, department or school in the institution and that is why the facilitators and participants are drawn from all the schools and departments in the polytechnic”. “More so the entrepreneurship of the institution is currently in partnership with two foreign institutions; Leicester International College United Kingdom and Sharda University India”. In her address, the Southeast zonal Cordinator and Director of the Institute in the Polytechnic Dr. Ebele Onwuka pointed out the centre was established in line with the Federal government directives to all institutions of higher learning in Nigeria to establish special and functional centres for entrepreneurship development where students will acquire skills that will enable them to fit into the global nature of the world economy today.

POLY SEEKS ESTABLISHMENT OF FRENCH CENTRE The Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State has sought the establishment of a French Center in the institution to foster international ties. The Rector of the polytechnic, Prof. Godwin Onu who disclosed this when some officials of the French Embassy in Abuja paid him a visit insisted that the establishment of the centre in the Polytechnic will not only boost the learning of French language and culture but strengthen ties with both countries. He told the French team that the polytechnic is located in the southeast zone of the Country, which like France is predominantly Christians and peaceful. Onu recalled that during the Nigerian civil war between 1967 and 1970, France was among the first countries that recognized Biafra, a feat he said that endeared France in the hearts of the Igbos, adding that the Igbos see France as part of them because of the help they offered in their difficult time. “We see you as our brothers and will not hesitate in deepening the relationship and the affinity. This French Centre will open a new frontier in the institution’s quest to be the number one in the country as we are going beyond borders in our bid to remain the Polytechnic of the moment. We have signed memorandum of understanding with some foreign universities in China and the United Kingdom in areas of research and exchange programme”. Onu presenting copies of the Poly News, (the polytechnic in house journal) to the Project Officer at French Embassy Abuja, Carl Engelsen while the Assistant Director of the French Centre Enugu, Julian Martinet looks on “We look forward to the establishment of the French Language and Cultural Centre and we welcome every step and process to actualize it to deepen the affinity between Nigeria and France”.

Sambo who spoke at the inaugural research training programme yesterday organized by Petroleum/Coal and Renewable Energy Research Unit of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State was represented by a Director in the commission Dr. Obiorah Dioha. He maintained that renewable energy can contribute to poverty alleviation and assist in addressing the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) by providing modern improved energy services to the poor, disclosing that renewable was particularly suited to meet the decentralized energy needs of poor rural remote community institutions. From left: Prof. Joseph Dioha (Rep. DG, Energy Commission of Nigeria), Dr. Don Mmuo (Deputy Rector), and Dr. Mchivga Abelega (Deputy Director, Academic Programmes, National Commission for Colleges of Education, Abuja at the workshop According to him, “this is particularly true of small scale renewables that are made locally and run on locally available resources. Such systems can provide energy that is both affordable and a source of employment and enterprise creation for both and urban poor”. “To achieve this, professionals with broad training and understanding of renewable energy production, delivery, consumption, efficiency, economics policy and regulations are needed. Unfortunately, Nigeria is faced with two inter-twined problems: a situation of mass unemployment of relatively skilled man power produced through formal and informal educational system and lack of man power in energy related fields”. He pointed out. He particularly commended the Federal Polytechnic Oko for rising up to address the problem and sharing in the mandate of the Energy Commission of Nigeria to promote training and man power development in the energy sector of the country. The Rector of the Polytechnic, Prof. Godwin Onu who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Don Muo in a keynote address congratulated the Research unit of the institution for the laudable stride in the collective academic endeavour and urged them to sustain the tempo. From left : Prof. Eboatu, (Fmr DVC, Unizik), Prof. Joseph Dioha (Rep. DG, Energy Commission of Nigeria), Dr. Don Mmuo (Deputy Rector), and Tony Nwaokolobia (Registrar) at the workshop He emphasized the role of research in education and praised the timing and aptness of the workshop and the theme: excelling in training renewable energy human resource base. He expressed worry that a lot of people were groping in the dark by wasting so much money on diesel and fuel for generation of power and at the same time polluting the environment, causing global warming as a result of the emission of carbon not knowing that greater power could be generated by alternative energy sources devoid of pollution. The Director of the Research unit, Mrs. Awuzie Chioma in an address noted that the workshop was geared towards ‘training, upskilling and updating the polytechnic community on this new technology’ which is alternative energy. Mrs Chioma Awuzie, Director, PECREER Unit According to her, “my vision is to make this unit a leading institute in renewable energy science and engineering which will provide the foundation for innovation in efficient and low cost renewable energy technologies” adding that the unit will continue to train and upskill renewable energy human resource base”. She therefore called for the establishment of a renewable energy centre in the Federal polytechnic Oko as was done in six universities in the country bearing in mind that polytechnics are technically based and practical oriented, adding that Oko is the only polytechnic in Nigeria that has a renewable energy unit. TALE OF TWO CULTURES AT FED.

Do not while away your time because if you do you will get lost and miss your potentials”. “But importantly be humble. Respect and obey your parents and teachers. They may be hard on you today but they will not mislead you as they are only preparing you as leaders of tomorrow. Be prayerful to God for giving you life and ask God to guide you until you achieve what you want to be in life”. The rector admonished. He reminded them that lack of money or disability should not deter any one from fulfilling his ambition in life and told them of a blind student who won the best student award in the university even as he reminded them that President Goodluck Jonathan had no shoes when he was a student like them. “Be patient, honest and sincere in whatever you do. if you jump more than your shadow, you will jump into trouble. Avoid violence and evil. Grow up with the best intention of being of good character and not to harass or intimidate your peers. Keep your environment clean at all time. Silver and gold we have not but this advice is more than them”. Onu advised.

ASUP SEEKS QUALITY REPRESENTATION IN INSTITUTIONS’ COUNCIL The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has called for quality representation among members of Governing Councils of Polytechnics insisting that only the appointment of academics into such body is the only panacea to the rot in the education sector. The National president of ASUP, Comrade Chibuzor Asomugha who stated this at the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State after receiving a brand new car to facilitate his new position from the Rector of the Polytechnic, Prof. Godwin Onu lamented that the appointment of politicians into the governing councils as a of political compensations has hampered the progress of the institutions’ manpower and structural facilities. Rector Federal Polytechnic Oko, Prof. Godwin Onu presenting a car key to the National president of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) Comrade Chibuzor Asomugha He charged the federal government to ensure that more academics who appreciate the challenges in the education sector were appointed into such Offices, adding that their appointment would reposition polytechnics in the country. According to him, “you need somebody who share the same vision with you and who has your interest at heart to move forward. Other people can still make meaningful impact in other sectors but education requires people who have passion for its speedy development”. Asomugha decried what he termed the widening dichotomy that exists between Staff of tertiary institutions, adding that such dichotomy demoralizes both staff and students of polytechnics. He urged the federal government to channel more funds into training institutions tasked with the development of self-employable manpower like polytechnics, adding that it will reduce unemployment in the country. He thanked the management of the polytechnic for the magnanimity which he described as “extending the hands of camaraderie to the National body of ASUP” adding that ASUP will always champion the cause of Polytechnics development in both the local and national levels. Responding, the Rector, Prof. Onu said the management of the Federal Polytechnic Oko is labour friendly, which he said has reflected in the policies of his administration. He noted that the successes recorded by his administration were as a result of the support and cooperation of the staff and students of the polytechnic. He maintained that his administration was averse to crisis and noted that with dialogue and collective efforts the institution will continue to grow. He promised to put an enabling platform where any outstanding labour matters would be resolved amicably. Onu commended the polytechnic’s chapter of ASUP for winning the National presidency, promising that the polytechnic has become a model institution in labour matters across the nation. Thanking the school management for identifying with the National body, the Chapter Chairman, Dr. Onyeka Uwakwe called on the management to facilitate the resolution of any lingering matter with labour, advising that the school should be the cynosure for other institution in labour related matters.

He noted that Onu was sincerely committed to nation building through “qualitative teaching, learning and research, innovation of new pertinent programmes and acquisition of equipment and infrastructural development”. Ochekwu pointed out “the progress recorded in the Federal Polytechnic Oko since the present management led by Prof. Godwin Onu came on board is as outstanding as it is remarkable”, adding, “while his contemporaries may be busy cogitating on how to manage and sustain their present programmes, Federal polytechnic Oko is already breaking new grounds with programmes that are both of strategic and comparative advantage to the development of manpower requisite for the socio-economic progress of Nigeria”. He lauded the polytechnic for introducing the study of Chinese language, which he said will cement the economic advantage for both countries and called for the upgrading the status of the polytechnic to a University of science and technology. In his response, Onu who was flanked by members of his management team expressed appreciation to the group for recognizing their strides in uplifting the education standard of the polytechnic. He said that without the cooperation of the members of the team the successes recorded by his administration would not have been possible, adding that on his assumption of office in 2010 the school was faced with many challenges which with the help of God the team of the School management has been able to tackle to some extent. Onu maintained that his aspiration was to make the Federal Polytechnic Oko the number one in the country and a polytechnic to reckon with in the world which he said informed the zeal with which the school was moving forward despite the paucity of funds. “We are keen on innovation and changing the face of the institution. Our dream is to have a perfect environment for teaching and learning. We are working today for tomorrow. We have to curb indiscipline and cultism for the enabling environment we need. We are building the biggest library in the entire southeast zone of Nigeria which will boost the reading culture of our students”. Onu said.

PANIC AS LANDSLIDE RAVAGES ANAMBRA COMMUNITIES ----Residents send SOS to Governments, World bank Indigenes of Oko and Nanka communities both in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra state have sent a Save Our Souls (SOS) to both State, Federal Government and the World bank following a landslide that rendered some members of the two communities homeless. The landslide, which occurred last weekend around 8.00am it was gathered further wreaked more havoc on the communities already ravaged by gully erosion. Oko is the hometown of former Vice president of Nigeria, Dr. Alex Ekwueme while Nanka is the hometown of former Minister of Information and Director General National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC), Prof. Dora Akunyili. The erosion which had reportedly claimed many lives and destroyed property estimated at billions of Naira, according to residents of the communities including the students of the Federal Polytechnic Oko took a more dangerous dimension at the weekend when without any rain or seismic signs the landslide cut the major drainage that has controlled the gully erosion in the two community. The landslide As a result, residents around the area where the landslide occurred out of panic fled to other parts of the communities but when by Monday nothing happened again they returned to pack out their properties. When reporters visited the area on Tuesday, the residents who were packing out besieged them wailing and called on the government and the World Bank to come to their aids. The traditional ruler of Oko, Prof. Laz Ekwueme, in an interview with reporters decried the menace of the landslide and erosion in his community and called on the World bank to come to their assistance. He disclosed that the contract for the control of the erosion which probably triggered the landslide has been awarded for a very long time but was abandoned for no known reasons and decried a situation where government play politics with such important projects that will affect the lives of the citizenry. According to him, if the menace was not checked before the rainy season, many buildings will be eroded including his ancestral home because the abandoned drainage project that has been controlling the erosion has been cut off by the landslide. One of the victims whose house stands less than two metres away from the landslide site Mr. Martin Ezeofor said he has been forced to move his family to a safer place, adding that it was only a tree that hears that it will be cut down and stands. He appealed to the Federal government to come to their aids before the entire communities were washed away. He recalled that the menace of erosion has plagued the communities and the environs including Ekwulobia and Amaokpala for more than a century without any efforts by the government to address the issue. Other residents who spoke to reporters at the landslide site were Ichie Barnabas Nwafor, Bomboy Onyeagba, Cyprian Ezeokeke, Joseph Ibeakamma, Hilary Ezeofor and Nneka Ezeokeke. Victims recounting their ordeal They all decried the devastating effect of the landslide, adding that the cutting of the drainage will trigger off more menacing landslides once the rains start which they said informed the evacuation of people and property within the area. The residents lamented the loss of lives to the menace in the past and that of buildings and large expanse of farm lands in the recent time and called on the Federal Government and environmental protection bodies to come to their rescue. Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the Federal Polytechic Oko which its Extension site was being ravaged by the erosion, Mr. Obini Onuchukwu noted that the students of the institution were also affected by the landslide. He said that some of the students who live outside the campus had relocated because of the menace, adding that the extension site of the polytechnic was being ravaged by the same menace.

Umeozor, the Deputy Registrar in charge of Personnel, Management reminded him of his promise to always cover his duties while on sabbatical leave. “Please, note your promise to always cover your duties while on Sabbatical leave”, the letter said. In a similar development, Management has approved the request for one year sabbatical leave in the polytechnic made by Dr. Asoegwu M.N.N. Following Management’s approval of his request, he has been placed on CONTISS 15 as Chief Lecturer in the Department of Accountancy, School of Financial Studies with effect from the day he assumes duty. His approval letter states, “Please, report at the Personnel Unit upon receipt of this letter for necessary documentation”. MGT DIRECTS STAFF TO REFUND MONEY Two staff of the polytechnic who were sponsored to an International Conference but could not attend the conference have been asked to refund the money. The staff include: Mrs G.U. Anene (Department of Natural Science) Management acknowledged receipt of your response to the query issued to you on the above subject. It frowned at your response which was totally unaccepted. Management was of the view that you ought to have declared your intention of not attending the conference rather than taking your own personal decision which was contrary to the extant regulations. Presentation of papers by proxy was not approved for you. Your act therefore amounted to serious misconduct which may attract severe disciplinary action. In view of the above, I am directed to ask you to refund to the polytechnic the total sum of one hundred and seventy-seven thousand, five hundred naira (N177,500) which you were paid despite paying conference fee by proxy. You are by this letter informed accordingly. You were further directed to imbibe the principle of due process knowing full well that the Rector is the final step in the administrative ladder, and not the preliminary step. The Registrar takes the preliminary processes and recommends to the Rector. You are also warned in view of the consequences of your actions not to indulge in any of such similar act as a repeat occurrence may attract a more severe disciplinary action… Nzekwe Regina Ujunwa (SERVICOM Unit) Refer to the query issued to you on the above subject and your responses in your letter dated 4th November, 2011. Be informed that Management has looked into your various representations on the matter, and was not satisfied with your explanations. Management viewed that you were not serious after giving you such a golden opportunity to update your knowledge. You should recall that presentation of conference paper by proxy was not the initial arrangement, and therefore not accepted by Management. Should anything have prevented you from attending the conference after the necessary arrangement, you were expected to inform your employer who made such approval for you. You ought not to have made your personal arrangements, bearing in mind that you are a subordinate officer. Against this backdrop, I am directed to ask you to refund a total sum of one hundred and ninety-two thousand naira (N192,000) which you were paid to attend the conference. I am further directed to warn you to desist from such acts which may put your image and that of the polytechnic in the dark, as a repeat of any of similar act(s) may attract you a severe disciplinary action… Would you like to reach the Rector on any issue of concern to the Institution?

L t d @ Fe d e r a l P o ly t e c h n ic , O k o OVER 120 STUDENTS EXPELLED CERTIFICATE FORGERY FOR In a sustained fight against corruption and related practices, Management of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko has expelled over 120 students for allegedly being in possession of fake academic credentials. The phony documents include National Diploma certificates and O’level certificates. The forged credentials were used to either secure admission into National Diploma or Higher National Diploma programmes as it applied. Some others who were also expelled were indicted by Exam Misconduct Panel. Reacting to the development, Rector of the institution, Prof. Godwin Onu vowed to continue the crusade against corruption. He said his administration has zero tolerance for corruption and lousiness and would stop at nothing to maintain the high level of discipline and sanity already existing in the polytechnic. Continuing, “We will not allow a few bad eggs to re-establish the old order again”, Onu said. On the list include: S/N 1. 2. NAME AND REG. NO. AKARAIWE ANTHONY .C. ND/BS/96/20257 IHEAKAM TOCHI .O.
