And in a bid to make this possible, the Polytechnic management has introduced the ‘Whistle Blowing Provision and Guidelines 2018’, to make it easy for students to expose erring lecturers.

According to Daily Trust, Bugaje said that policy has kicked off in earnest, adding that some lecturers have been arrested and punished for extorting money from students.

A Head of Department has reportedly been dismissed for extorting students while another lecturer is reported to have been arrested for sexually harassing a female student.

Speaking about the lecturer, who is currently facing a disciplinary committee, Bugaje said, “We shall boot him out if found guilty,”.
