Meanwhile, the Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman who chaired the Board said the decision to withdraw the students was part of the resolve to maintain high academic standard and breed worthy academic ambassadors.
He urged students to make adequate use of the available facilities for learning to excel in their chosen course.
The Rector tasked the students to keep their behaviour within the law of the institution, including shunning all social vices within and outside the Campus.
Dr. Usman, therefore, thanked the Chairman and members of the Central Result Verification Committee and the entire members of the Academic Board for their continued support and sustenance of academic standard.
