The Federal Government inaugurated the recently reconstituted Governing Councils of 25 Federal Polytechnics and 21 Federal Colleges of Education with a charge to ensure that the Institutions are repositioned for quality teaching and learning to take place.
Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, who inaugurated the Councils on Tuesday in Abuja, particularly charged them to address the worrisome decline in academic standards and examination malpractice.
He equally urged them to frontally address the issue of the unstable academic calendar, especially the challenge of frequent industrial actions by the staff unions of the institutions.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) is currently on strike and incidentally, one of the demands of the Union is the reconstitution of the Governing Councils to Federal Polytechnics as the Institutions have been operating without councils for over a year, until this inauguration on Tuesday.

Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, has hailed the federal government over recent appointments of governing councils, visitation panels and principal officers of the new federal colleges of education in the country.
It, however, appealed to the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to expedite actions on the passage of the Bill for the review of the Colleges of Education Act, pending before the National Assembly.
The bill, it noted in a statement, Tuesday, by its President, Nuhu Ogirima, that if passed, “would usher in a new dawn in the Colleges of Education of our dear country.”
