According to him, the coalition which comprises of Students Union Government (SUG), National Union of Bauchi State Students (NUBASS) and departmental students associations, said “without mincing words, justice has been done in the appointment of this prudent personality”
He said ATAP is one of the polytechnics with highest accredited courses in the country including degrees, national diplomas, higher national diplomas and national certificate of education.
“New courses were introduced into the school that of course glorified it and made it competing with its counterparts in Nigeria,” the students said.
The students commended the rector for his move to stop absenteeism and unpunctuality of some lecturers by introducing performance based assessment of lecturers before promotion.
This, they opined would go a long way in ensuring effective service delivery in the school.
