FED POLY BIDA Matriculates 3,500 Students For 2016/2017 Academic Session

The management of the Federal Polytechnic Bida Matriculates 3,500 Students During the 2016/2017 Matriculation Ceremony.

Matriculating students  have been warned against participating on Ponzi schemes, especially the MMM.

The Rector, Dr. Abubakar Dzukogi gave the warning during the 2016/2017 matriculation ceremony held at Bagudu Waziri auditorium in
Bida.

” It is high time Nigerian students redefined their values. The much talked about participation in MMM and similar outfits,buying expensive handsets, dressing indecently and living unbridled lives should be
put to a halt.

” We need to have a value system based on raising hope for our future and the nation,” Dzukogi said.

The Rector disclosed that 200 students were withdrawn for poor academic performance during the last academic session, while 15
others were rusticated due to examination malpractices, fighting and engaging in other social physical vices.

“We still remain strict as we try to maintain our standard. We have tried to maintain our standard over the years and we will not stop maintaining it. Any student found wanting will be sent home.”

The Rector added that the future of Nigeria depends largely on the ability of young people to cope with challenges in the pursuit of their
goals and aspirations.

He urged the new students to take their studies serious and strive towards balancing their spiritual lives with academics for meaningful living advising them to shun any form of vices or anti-social activities such as
cultism, examination malpractices and drug abuse.

“It should be noted that there will be zero tolerance for all forms of misconducts as offenders will be appropriately sanctioned.”

Three thousand and five hundred students matriculated for the 2016/2017 academic session out of which 1,500 were for National
Diploma and 2,000 were for Higher National Diploma.
