In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of Nasarawa State, Barr. Muhammad Ubandoma Aliyu and made available to this medium on Friday in Lafia, said the decision was to allow the whitepaper committee on the report of the visitation panel to carry out its assignment without any interference.
It added that all properties of the institution in the possession of the Governing Council and the Rector should be handed over to the appropriate officer who is not a member of the institution’s Governing Council pending the final determination of the visitation panel of the polytechnic.
