The Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, has banned the staff of the institution from traveling out of the country without the permission of the governing board of the polytechnic.
The institution declared that whoever among the staff flouted the order would be heavily sanctioned.
The Rector of the polytechnic, Prof. Emmanuel Fasakin disclosed this at the institution’s Christmas carol And nine lessons service held on the campus of the institution.
He said, “Well, I do not gloss over the myriad of challenges Nigeria is facing presently but the situation calls for all well-meaning nationals to jointly find solutions so that our fatherland can be better. It is in light of this that management has decided to invoke the full weight of extant regulations on those who have misused the various opportunities we are providing our personnel to develop for their selfish interests.
“No longer shall we condone travelling out of the country without adhering to the laid down guidelines. Members of the polytechnic should take cognisance that overseas training can only be approved by the governing council. Whosoever travels out of the country under whatever guise without the relevant approval from Council will have questions to answer and if they cannot answer those questions satisfactorily, they may be sanctioned”
The don, however, commended the staff who contributed in one way or the order to the development of the institution since the beginning of the year.
