Taraba Poly facing shortage of lecturers – Students lament, appeal to Gov Kefas to recruit lecturers
By Andrew Ojih, Jalingo.
Students of the Taraba State Polytechnic Suntai on Sunday lamented that the institution is currently facing a significant deficit of lecturers.
A student in the Department of Epidemiology, Bulus Ubandoma while speaking to Blueprint during an exclusive interview, said the lectures in the institution are not enough to take available courses in the school.
“Most time, a lecturer takes more than three to four courses and is affecting us, we will sometimes be in a lecture room waiting and we will later be told that the lecturer is taking other students elsewhere.
It is not going well with us, it is really affecting our studies, and something urgent needs to be quickly done” he said.
Also, a HND one student of the polytechnic, Zainab Usman Gorobi said governor Kefas need to urgently give approval for recruitment of teachers in the school.
She warned that if nothing is done to curb the significant deficit of lecturers, the institution will wake up one day without teachers to teach some of the courses.
“I want to bring to the notice of our governor that the polytechnic runs HND now, and it will not go well with the institution if NBTE got to know that the school is lacking teachers.
He should urgently direct the governing council and the polytechnic authority to immediately commence recruitment of lecturers and others.
If governor Kefas and his administration hears us, it will give us joy and solve the problem of lack of lecturers we are currently facing” she noted.
The Leadership of the Polytechnic could not be reached immediately before going to Press to confirm the claim of the students.
