By Gabriel Ewepu – Abuja

“In doing this we put the issue of the allegations at the front burner, while also being mindful of the element of fake information that might occur in the cause of the said allegations as published by some of the online news publishers.”

“Our findings on Thursday, November 13 by visiting the institution on a fact-finding mission to unravel facts about the allegations and through our findings, we deployed the instrumentality of the freedom of information act to demands for documents that we needed to point out.

“The school management largely obliged by turning in documents that shows that there was no employment done in the school wrongly, as there was no waiver for employment as at the time the publication was published.

“In our findings, we observed that the institution needed adjunct staff to fill in the spaces of some of the institution lecturers who were on study leave outside the country, and for the purpose of accreditation and lecturing, a move that those not in any way connotes job racketeering.”

Meanwhile, according to the statement, TADI is fully armed with the report of its findings to “State categorically that the Federal Polytechnic Ile Oluji, Ondo State, is a young institution that is growing very fast both in infrastructures, Students population and program designs for optimum output geared towards National development as our findings show that all resources accrue to the institution since its establishment had been judiciously tailored to achieve it intended goals.

With regard to Nigeria, many commentators refer to “the mistake of 1914”. My friend Tony Nnaji, a jurist of uncommon erudition, has made the valid point that the 1914 amalgamation did not involve any plebiscite or consultation with the peoples so affected. It is self-evident that the British had no noble intentions in bringing us together. They did it for reasons linked to Weberian administrative rationality, including the need to build a war-economy at the wake of World War I.
