Abiapoly: Student Manufactures Electric Bulb With 15 Year Life Span by chuksahamefule: 11:12pm On Aug 10, 2019
Prof. Friday Ezionye Eboh, the rector of Abia State Polytechnic has revealed how the engineering department of Abia state Polytechnic Aba manufactured an unbreakable electric bulb with a 15 years life span, this he said during an interactive session with The News Gazette in his office, he made the revelation while exposing the progress the school has made in the area of research and academics.

On Salaries, Prof. Eboh, told The News Gazette that the issue of backlog of salaries being owed staff of AbiaPoly will be cleared on or before December 2019, he explained that though he inherited about 7 months’ salary arrears upon assumption of office as the rector of the school but that there are plans in place to offset all the outstanding salaries insisting that his focus at the moment is to improve the academic standard of the school and to ensure payment of salaries as and when due, he lamented the current students population as being a little below 10.000 and the school fees payable by students if fully harvested cannot meet the current wage bill of the school because the school maintains an over bloated work force, he harped on the need for the school to downsize in order to meet up with its monthly wage obligation while pleading with the government to please ensure that the 90 million naira subvention approved for the running of the school gets to them regularly and on time.

On the allegation that Mr. Obinna Oriaku, the former commissioner for finance have vested business interests in Lloydant Business Services and are colluding with the company to defraud the institution, he dismissed such claims as unnecessary political mudslinging, stating that Lloydant is a registered entity with the CAC and has board of trustees making the owners of the firm easily identifiable through a simple search, “to clear the air, Lloydant has been in operation in AbiaPoly since 2015 and I have only been Rector for two and half years which means they were in operation before I even came here as a Rector, but beyond that, looking at their records they have been able to grow the financial performance of the school significantly through transparent payment collection system by eliminating manual collection of fees stating that every single kobo collected is reflected in the schools portal and runs through a single account, noting that Lloydant had blocked leakages and fraud and had introduced transparency into our IGR, before the coming of Lloydant, students pay cash to lecturers even inside examination halls, there is no accountability and students collude with some fraudulent staff to defraud the school but today our financials have improved significantly, what we need today is an increase in student enrollment to enable us raise our IGR and you know we are competing with private universities whose admission processes are lower in standard and in cost, so it is affecting our student population”

Prof. Eboh said, the engineering department have done commendably well in fabrications, he pointed out that the department have produced industrial waste buckets, Industrial Palm Oil Mill, Motorized and manual Melon Peeling machines, Motorized lawn mower, amongst other recognized technological breakthroughs, while the school have maintained high academic standards in all departments, “in the area of our core mandate which is Teaching, Research and Community Service, I must commend, because we have done very well to be singled out for recognition and honour by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) as the most technologically Innovative polytechnic in Nigeria during a conference in Kaduna.

On Discipline and Security, The Professor of Management Studies boasted that under his administration, Abia state polytechnic have maintained high level discipline and have recorded negligible incidents of cultism, extortion and sexual harassment because the management have a policy of zero tolerance to indiscipline of any sort and the few cases we have recorded have been dealt with decisively and have expelled or sacked such persons whether student or lecturer.

He ended by thanking the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, for all the support he has been extending to the school and pleaded that he should please continue to assist the school by making sure that the subventions come to the school regularly and as and when due.

Wow! There is hope for this country. That guy is the real celebrity, he should be celebrated. How i wish the government and well meaning individuals could assist the young man to take his career to the NEXT LEVEL. But it is a pity they can't. Those in authority keep regrouping to loot while the well meaning individuals prefare to sponsor an irrelevant, nudity-promoting and morally bankrupt shows like BBN.
