'Polytechnics breeding ground for cultists'
President, Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation, Prince Salih Musa Yakubu, said yesterday that many polytechnics in the country have become breeding grounds for cultists.
He, however, added that some of the institutions had risen up to the occasion by insisting on discipline.
Speaking at the presentation of Ambassador of Ethics and Conscience award to the Rector of Kwara State Polytechnic, Alhaji Mas'ud Elelu and Ethically Responsible Award to the Registrar, Pastor Moses Salami, Yakubu said, "We found out that many polytechnics that are supposed to be breeding grounds for future leaders and development have turned into breeding grounds for cultists. But with the little time this rector assumed leadership, he has reduced cult activities to the barest minimum. We salute your effort, doggedness and determination to bring back the lost glory of the polytechnic in Nigeria".
He said the criteria for the award included office attendance, public accessibility, support for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), initiative against internal corruption, quality control and staff welfare and discipline. Others, he said are institutional policy performance, time management culture, commitment to youth/women empowerment and development and budget/project performance and staff/students discipline.
The rector said the award was in recognition of the polytechnic's achievements, saying, "nothing is as good as people recognising good performance of public servant during and after service."
He said the administration would keep improving on its performance in order to move the polytechnic to the next level.
