The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has dissolved and suspended the council and management respectively of the state-owned tertiary institution, Abia State Polytechnic, Aba.
This comes barely 24 hours after MUKTV reported that the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) withdrew the accreditation of the institution over non-payment of salaries for about thirty months.
In a statement on Wednesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem, also announced the setting up of a task force headed by Prof. Ikechi Mgboji to ensure the restoration of the lost accreditation in 30 days.
