Thank you, Mr President for converting Federal Polytechnic Kabo to Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo


 Thank you, Mr President for converting Federal Polytechnic Kabo to Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo


I am deeply grateful to the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for assenting to the bill converting the Federal Polytechnic Kabo to Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo, Kano State.


A correspondence from the President, assenting to the bill  which I sponsored was read on the floor of the Senate during today's sitting presided over by  President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON.


 This reflects the President’s relentless quest to improving access to higher education and to fast track the development of our country by providing the necessary skills to our teeming youths.


As we all know, youths are the cornerstones of the development of all societies. The conversion of the Polytechnic to University of Science and Technology is in line with global best practices.


We have a large population of youths in this country, and in the contemporary world, human capital development is important in delivering a national economy and development.


Globally, ICT and science-related disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, and so on, are on the front burner. It's through this kind of institution that we will be able to train our youths in these fields. 


I congratulate the management, staff, students, and communities of the Federal Polytechnic Kabo for this development.


I encourage them to continue upholding the highest standards of academic excellence as they transition into university.


Thank you once again, Mr. President, for your visionary leadership and commitment to fast track the development of our country.


We are grateful, your Excellency.

ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE?

  ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE? The situation regarding the caretaker committee established by the SDP in Kogi state is beginning to shift, as the presiding judge has decided to return the case to the Chief Judge (CJ) for reassignment to a substantive judge once the judicial vacation ends. This decision is significant because, upon reassignment, the new judge will set a fresh date for the hearing, which, according to reports, may be sometime in October or November. Until then, all parties must maintain the status quo, meaning, Hon. Moses Peter will continue as the chairman, and the caretaker committee's actions will be rendered ineffective, making all their decisions null and void. In terms of the upcoming elections, this implies that: - The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) will be legally bound to recognize Moses Peter as the party chairman and work with him on all electoral matters. - Candidates not presented to KOSIEC through the office ...
