Federal Polytechnic Mubi Reopens, Lectures Begin On Monday

The Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa, has re-opened for academic work, the Director of Information and Protocol, Mr Philip Ndalamu, has said. Ndalamu made the fact known in Yola on Sunday, saying lectures would commence on Monday.

“We re-opened three weeks ago and the staff have equally resumed work. Arrangements have been put in place for students who have been returning to commence lectures on Monday,” Ndalamu said. The polytechnic had closed in October, 2014, in the wake of Boko Haram invasion of the town.

Ndalamu said major repair works of structures damaged by the insurgents had been concluded.

The College of Health Technology, Mubi, similarly closed during the insurgency re-opened three months ago but Adamawa State University also located in the town has yet to resume.

Although workers of the university have resumed, repair work on damaged infrastructure is still on.

The insurgents had damaged basic infrastructure in the university.
