YABATECH: Academic
Board Nullifies 2015 Polls Holiday
The Academic Board of Yaba College has nullified the
22days
polls holiday earlier announced for the College
students.
The Board, consisting of the College Management, All
Chief
Lecturers and Heads of Departments, at an emergency
meeting
Friday, February 6, 2015 ruled that Government
directive
barring holidays for the polls is upheld.
Education Minister, Mallam Ibrahim Shekrau had on
Monday,
announced that no public institution should send
students
home because of the elections.
He argued that schools have wasted much time during
past
strike actions by the unions, and needed to firm up the
academic calendar to restore sanity.
The management has assured staffs and students that
additional security measures would be put in place
within and
around the college to safeguard life & properties.
Students are
however advised to go about their studies which are
the major
drive that brought them to the college, and to subject
themselves to security checks when demanded.
Night crawlers and other students who keep late night
outside
have been warned to distance themselves from the
college as
late entrance would not be tolerated.
Thank You
