The Delta State House of Assembly has suspended the Rector and Bursar of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku for six months following allegations of financial misconduct and administrative lapses.

The decision aligns with a prior directive from the institution’s Governing Council and reflects the Assembly’s commitment to accountability and transparency in public institutions. The suspension aims to ensure that proper administrative and financial protocols are enforced within the polytechnic.

The Assembly emphasized that the action is part of broader efforts to strengthen governance and safeguard public funds in the state’s educational institutions.

Further details about the investigation and next steps are expected to be released in the coming weeks as the Assembly continues its oversight role.
