Delta Assembly Issues Delta Polytechnic 24-Hour Ultimatum To Implement Resolution

The Delta State House of Assembly Committee on Legislative Compliance has given the Management of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-uku a 24-hour ultimatum to implement the resolution passed by the 7th Delta Assembly in January 2023. During a meeting held on Tuesday, the Committee, led by Chairman and Deputy Speaker Rt Hon Arthur Akpowowo, cautioned the Polytechnic’s management against disregarding the resolution, stating that failure to comply would result in severe penalties.

The Committee, comprising members such as Majority Leader Hon Emeka Nwaobi, Minority Leader Hon. Edafe Emakpor, and Deputy Majority Leader Hon Festus Okoh, expressed strong disapproval of the school’s perceived disrespect towards the Delta State House of Assembly.

They warned of potential invocation of relevant legislative rules and urged the management team, headed by Rector Prof. Emmanuel Achuenu, to submit a letter confirming compliance within the stipulated timeframe.

The committee, in its decision said, “in your letter which you sent to us, it was obvious that you were not ready to implement our resolution.

“Our duty as a committee is to ensure that we do justice to every case that is reported to the State Assembly. BY your letter, it is evident that you do not have respect for this House. There was certainly no reason for you to have replied us in the manner and tone as contained in your letter.

“We have sent several letters to you. This is our last meeting with you on this matter, you have between now and tomorrow to implement our resolution, otherwise….” Akpowowo said.

In response, the Rector of the Polytechnic, Prof. Emmanuel Achuenu while tendering apologies on behalf of the management of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, promised to comply with the resolution as directed.

The resolution as earlier handed down to the school management was immediate reinstatement and reappraisal of the sanction placed on one of its staff, Mrs. Grace Adah of the department of Academic planning.

Mrs Adah who was allegedly demoted to the post of Principal Assistant Registrar (P.A.R) of the Polytechnic following an issue with management of the Polytechnic, petitioned to the State Assembly, which after investigation directed she be re designated as Lecturer 1.
