Group under the auspices of Edo Professionals against Injustice (EPI) on Saturday described as “primitive and unacceptable the false claims” by the National Association of Polytechnic Students, NAPS, that the Federal Government no longer accept Msc holders but Professors and Ph.D holders as Rectors in all the Polytechnic in Nigeria.
Convener of the group, Arch. Justin Edosa, said the online publication on the recent interview for the appointment of a Rector in Auchi Polytechnic is total falsehood and misinformation capable of misleading members of the public on the prerequisites for appointment of Rector in Nigeria polytechnics.
He alleged that the author of the said article is an impostor based in Kaduna and being sponsored by one of the contestants for the office who had earlier left the Polytechnic under very questionable circumstances.
Edosa said, “The attention of our group has been drawn to an online publication on the recent interview for the appointment of a Rector in Auchi Polytechnic. The author of the said article is an impostor based in Kaduna and being sponsored by one of the contestants for the office who had earlier left the Polytechnic under very questionable circumstances.
” For the avoidance of any doubt, the Polytechnic Act is against appointment of Professors for the Polytechnic Sector. Section 8:2(1) states “the qualifications of the persons who may apply for the post, which shall be a Chief Lecturer in the Polytechnic sector with at least five years experience on that position among other criteria. The possession of a PH.d is not stated in the aforementioned Polytechnic Act.”
Edosa called on the Federal Government and the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to do the needful and ensure that the best man for the job is picked particularly as the institution has witnessed unprecedented peace and harmonious co-existence under leadership of a former acting rector whose pedigree is top notch.

A university don, Prof. Olufemi Olufunmilade, has said that deployment of Foreign Intelligence in Nigeria security architecture is germane to acquiring skills and technology needed for self-reliant security systems and enduring economic prosperity.
Olufunmilade, a Professor of International Relations and Strategic Studies, stated this while delivering the 25th Inaugural Lecture of Igbinedion University Okada, Edo State, Thursday, titled: Foreign Intelligence: The Means to Advancing Nigeria’s Security and Prosperity.
According to him, in order to make foreign intelligence functional means of advancing national security and economic prosperity, the Nigerian government and other stakeholders must take some concrete measures.
Olufunmilade noted that in making foreign intelligence functional and achieving the desired results, the Federal Government should ensure
“it puts round pegs in round holes in Nigerian embassies and diplomatic missions where it seeks to conduct intelligence activities in line with the focus of this lecture.”

He continued: “In this regard, to advance Nigeria’s security interest and needs, the defence attaches, who are normally drawn from the military and usually made to undergo a relevant course at the Defence Intelligence College before they are posted abroad, should be strictly drawn from the Intelligence Corps of the three arms of the military.Not from non-intelligence corps.”
On economic prosperity, the university don said “to advance economic prosperity, Nigeria will
need to put economic/commercial attaches with requisite
economic and commercial skills in-charge of the economic and commercial desks of its foreign missions.”
“It should consider seconding staff of Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) and allied agencies who possess skills at attracting critically needed investments, technology, and expertise to the Nigerian economy. The bottom-line for all personnel is intelligence skills required for optimal performance on their beats.”

He, therefore, recommended that Nigerians should “report activities inimical to the peace and security of Nigeria to the security agencies,” adding: “That will be human intelligence collection in practice and it is a patriotic act.”
Earlier, in his opening remarks, the Vice-Chancellor, Igbinedion University Okada, Prof. Lawrence Ezemonye, described the Inaugural Lecture as an avenue to sharing discoveries, ideas and insights with the public and the larger academic community.
He added that it’s also an avenue for professors to showcase to members of the public what the research they have carried out on issues over the years and taught for years.
