The Nasarawa State Polytechnic, Lafia has suspended two workers found to
have collected illegal tuition fees, its Rector, Mr Silas Gyar, said on
Friday in Lafia.
“The two staff were
involved in illegal collection of fees to the tune of N4 million; when we
discovered the illegality, management set up a committee to investigate the
matter.
“The committee
recommended six months suspension, after which they duo would refund the money
to the institution’s coffers,” he told newsmen.
He said that the
management, however, suspended the workers for one year because of the severity
of the offence.
“The staff have agreed
to refund the money but management has, nonetheless, reported the matter to the
Governing Council, the institution’s highest decision making body, for further
action.
“Their fate will be
determined by the council; whatever it says is final,” he declared.
He said that the school
had set up a committee to look into cases of fraud and indiscipline in the
polytechnic.
“The intention is to
deal with people involved so as to deter others from committing similar
offences,” he said.
The Rector said that
management had also set up monitoring teams to check social vices by both
students and staff, and cautioned workers and students against violating the
institution’s rules and regulations.
