The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has condemned the ‘reckless comment’ by a member of the House of Representatives, Aminu Suleiman, on the Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe in Bayelsa state.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesman of the IYC worldwide, Henry Iyalah.He described the statement as not only misleading and reckless, but also capable of causing another crisis in the volatile region.
Suleiman is the Chairman, House Committee on Tertiary Education, represents Kano (Fagge Federal Constituency.)He was quoted to have said that rats and lizards were occupying the polytechnic, which was an erroneous impression on the true state of the institution.
The IYC spokesman said: “The Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe is functional with students and workers. At the time members of the committee on tertiary institution visited the school, the students were on holiday hence they were not available to receive the lawmakers.
