If anything, he has been very supportive of the various unions in the institution with a view to achieving enduring\u00a0 peace on campus&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Dr. Dzukogi has been implementing the signed agreement and if anybody thinks otherwise, then it is such a person that is not desirous of peace in our institution. Our peace accord is there and we have implemented it to the letter till date&#8221;, maintained the SSA, Media and Communication to the Rector.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The SSA further said that the Rector will continue to meaningfully engage relevant stakeholders in a bid to achieve everlasting peace on campus, adding that union leaders should refrain from making inflammatory statements\u00a0 \u00a0that will destroy the relative peace that the institution is currently enjoying.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;To demonstrate that there is peace on campus is aptly illustrated by the fact that academic activities are running and staff and students are going about their lawful businesses. This is in addition to the fact that the students are currently preparing for their semester&#8217;s exams.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8221; By God&#8217;s grace, we will sustain the peace in the polytechnic as we appeal to all stakeholders to respect constituted authorities and diligently follow the civil service rules and other provisions of the law that guide the activities of the Polytechnic.&#8221; he concluded.<\/div>\n<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rector,\u00a0 \u00a0Federal Polytechnic Bida, Dr. Abubakar Abdul Dzukogi, has reiterated at the weekend in Bida his commitment to\u00a0 leave no stone unturned in a bid to maintain enduring peace in the institution.\u00a0<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[8080],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-46308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-news","tag-endring-peace"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
