AUCHIPOLY: Group Issues 14 Days Ultimatum Over Admission Of New Students

The Civil Empowerment and Rule of Law Support Initiative (CERLSI), group, has threatened to legal action against the Management of the Federal Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi if they fail to repeal their decision to revoke admission of new students of the institution.

Recall that Management of the institution had earlier revoked the names of students and their status in their admission portal owing to the fact that they were unable to pay their acceptance fees within a stipulated time of two weeks, while those who paid outside the two weeks ultimatum were denied registration.

The deputy executive director of civil society group, Mr. Bob Majirioghene Etemiku, in a statement titled: “Payment ultimatum Slapped on Hepless Admission Seekers at The Auchi Polytechnic- An Ultimatum”, expressed disappointment over the institution’s management refusal to consider the plights of students whose admissions were revoked due to their inability to meet up the two weeks ultimatum for acceptance fee payment.

According to him, we are constrained by your decision to offer you a two-week ultimatum to repeal that unfortunate decision of yours.

“That we will have no other option than to institute legal action against you, at the end of the aforesaid time frame above.

” We decided to give the Rector and the Management of the institution a two-week periods of grace to enable him re-admit the students, failure to do so would lead to a legal action instituted against the Management of the institution.

When contacted, the Polytechnic Public relations officer, Mustapher Oshiobugie in a telephone interview told Dailypost that students are giving two week to pay a stipulated amount saying that the admission offer within this two week is called provisional admission.

“They have a timeline to pay whatever they are to pay which means that they have accepted the admission, if they don’t pay withing that two week, the student forfeits the admission, the admission offers during this period is a provisional offer”

“Is like the group forgotten what happened in 2016 when we kelp postponing the deadline because some of them would have missed their examination and what now happened when the students destroyed properties, anything call property worth over millions of naira was destroyed. Are they saying we should GI back to that era”

“We have written to them stating our stand, that we will not succumb to their treat, or they want to take us to court, let them take us to court, we are ready and let the judge decide. He added.
