Governor Uba Sani has been commended for aligning his education policies with what obtains at the national level.
The Rector of Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic, Dr Mohammed Kabir Abdullahi who stated this in a statement, thanked the Governor for increasing the retirement age of academic staff of the institution from 60 to 65 years.
He said the action of the Governor did not come as a surprise considering his positive policies on education, including the reduction of students' registration fees within three months after his swearing-in.
The Rector pointed that the policies mark a significant milestone in improving access to education to the citizens of the state and the welfare of the staff of the Polytechnic.
It could be recalled that Governor Uba Sani issued an Executive Order on Thursday last week, which increased the retirement age of the academic staff of some Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions to 65 years, provided they meet the necessary requirements.
Dr Abdullahi promised that Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, will continue to support Governor Uba Sani’s administration and his policies at all times.
He also applauded the efforts of the state Commissioner for Education Prof. Muhammad Sani Bello, the entire management and the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Nubapoly Chapter.
