Ayiwulu: Pay Money Before You Submit Assignment Nasarawa Poly Lecturers

According to Ayiwulu, some teachers at the state-owned college are now openly demanding 1,000 NGN from students for assignment submission.


Ayiwulu, Barrister Baba Ayiwulu, a Lafia-based lawyer, has petitioned the Isa Mustapha Agwai Polytechnic (IMAP) Lafia management to examine what he described as "open extortion of students" by Lecturers.


In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Barrister Ayiwulu claimed that three of his siblings, as well as other students at the university, have raised concern about the practice.


According to Ayiwulu, some teachers at the state-owned college are now openly demanding $1,000 from students for assignment submission.


"Extortion is too blatant at Nasarawa State Polytechnic." Assume a professor in class instructs students to submit a 1,000 NGN assignment.


"Worst of all, pupils will be asked to look for their exam scripts on their own and will be charged since their scripts are missing."


"I'm hoping the school administration will form a committee to look into this." Ayiwulu added, "A hidden probe into this will also help."


Even as findings demonstrate the prevalence of extortion in the institution, Ayiwulu claims that two of his wards who are polytechnic students are victims.


He also claimed that other stakeholders have expressed their displeasure with the polytechnic lecturers' extortion of students on numerous platforms.


As a result, Ayiwulu advised the school administration to take immediate action to address the threat in order to avoid the institution's negative image being tarnished.


In a statement to the Vanguard, Mr Ali Alhassan, the public relations officer for Nasarawa Polytechnic, rejected the allegation, adding, "We do not have such teachers in the university."


The PRO threatened that the school administration would not remain silent about the baseless claim of extortion intended to smear the institution's reputation.
