Katsina state governor Aminu Bello Masari has charged the pioneer management of the newly established Federal Polytechnic, Daura, to work assiduously for the smooth take-off of the institution.
Masari gave the charge Wednesday when he received the new management of the institution led by the Senator representing Katsina North Senatorial District, Alhaji Ahmed Babba Kaita and the institution’s rector, Associate Professor Aliyu Mamman at Government House, Katsina.
The governor reminded the stakeholders that as a new institution, they have a critical role to play in ensuring that qualitative education is given to the newly admitted students.
He directed the provision of temporary housing and structures as offices for easy take-off of the polytechnic.
Masari also directed that the VIP lodge at Daura and structures owned by the local government should be made available as houses for the management of the polytechnic, and assured that TETFUND will be contacted to do the needful for the institution to take-off relatively with ease.
Earlier, the senator representing Katsina North senatorial District, Alhaji Ahmed Babba Kaita, told the governor that the new management staff has been presented with letters of appointment by the Federal Ministry of Education.
He described the institution as a baby child of Masari who has already granted certificate of occupancy to the polytechnic.
Also speaking, the rector of the institution, Mamman told the governor that they were at Katsina Government House to formally introduce themselves as the new management of the institution.
He expressed gratitude to the governor and Senator Kaita for the establishment of the polytechnic and the provision of temporary and permanent sites.
