Following that action of the National Board for Technical Education against Abia State Polytechnic Aba, the governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, said the action was embarrassing.
He has therefore appealed to the students of Abia Poly and other well-meaning Abia’s to remain calm, while a taskforce has been set up to resolve the matter
In a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr Chris Ezem, the state government said it views the decision of NBTE against the institution as very embarrassing and capable of destabilizing the current peace and harmony existing in the state, as the fate of the students of the institution appears to be jeopardized by the said action.
