The management of the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has ordered the immediate closure of academic activities in the institution.
According to a statement made public on Tuesday, the institution’s registrar, Kasimu Salihu, explained that unscrupulous elements invaded the male students’ hostel, making away with their belongings and injuring about two students.
“Upon this sad development, students came out of the polytechnic main gate to express their justifiable frustration, calling on management to act.
“While management acted immediately, with all principal officers and management staff showing up to address the students and the situation, it has been established that hoodlums who do not mean the students and the institution well had taken over what was meant to be a peaceful protest, “the registrar noted.
He disclosed that “Against the background of this ugly situation, the Management hereby orders the immediate closure of academic activities. By this order, students are given two hours within which to vacate the polytechnic campus, until further notice.”
