The Taraba Transparency and Accountability Forum, a civil society group, has commended the Governor of Taraba, Darius Ishaku for the constitution of a visitation panel for the Taraba State Polytechnic, Suntai.
Comrade Mustapha Mohammed, Leader of the group, made the commendation while briefing newsmen on Thursday in Jalingo.
Duaglobalnews recalls that the Governor recently constituted a visitation panel to look into the activities of the polytechnic since its establishment.
The committee is headed by the Dputy yvice Chancellor (Aministration) of the state University, Prof. Nicolas Naneson.
Mohammed said that the constitution of the visitation panel would identify rots in the institution and make appropriate recommendations that would address the lapses occasioned by alleged maladministration in the Polytechnic.
He, however,urged the governor not to relent in extending the same thing to the Cocumber farm, where a whooping N4 billion was invested.
He also advised the state government to initiate a review of the Jamtari-Gembu road project in which funds had been released by the Federal Government to the Taraba state, yet the project had not been executed.
“We commend his Excellency, Gov. Darius Ishaku for taking the bull by the horn by constiting a strong worded visitation panel for the Taraba state polytechnic, Suntai.
“We wish he extends same to other tertiary institutions of learning in the state such as the Taraba State University Jalingo, Taraba State College of Education Zing, Taraba State College of Agriculture, Jalingo, Taraba State School of Nursing also in Jalingo and Taraba State School of Health Technology Takum.
“We also wish his Excellency, our amiable governor, uses his office to constitute such a high powered panel on critical sectors in the state, such as Taraba Cocumber farm, where the state invested a whopping sum of N4 billion.
Others are: Maisamari Tea, Jamtari-Gembu road project which funds has been released by the Federal Government to the Taraba state government, yet the project have not being executed, the Mararaban Baisa-Abong road project, Pupule-Pantisawa road and the Jalingo metro street light which is already not functioning.
“We wish to state, clearly, that if other institutions in the state will not get the kind of attention the state polytechnic has got, then, it gives room for suspicion.
“Let it not appear as if the state government is witch-hunting some interest groups in the state,’he said.
He expressed concern weather the panel would be transparent.
