AkwaPoly Host Communities Demand Equity in Selection of New Rector

Host communities of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic in AkwaPoly, particularly in Ikot Osurua and Ikot Ekpen, are calling for fairness and equity in the appointment of a new rector as the current rector, Dr. Mose Umobong's tenure expires soon.

They protest against what they describe as lopsided appointments favoring certain ethnic groups in recent years. The communities emphasize the need for a balanced and inclusive selection process to avoid tensions and ensure harmonious relationships within the institution and its surroundings.
