Kaduna Polytechnic Given Three-Day Ultimatum by House Committee

The House of Representatives Committee on Federal Polytechnics and Higher Technical Education has mandated Kaduna Polytechnic to submit specific financial documents within three days. This includes details of its internally generated revenue (IGR) and statutory pension deductions from 2023 to the present.

The committee, led by Chairman Hon. Fuad Kayode Laguda (Rep, Surulere I), expressed concern over the declining IGR, which fell from N1.478 billion in 2023 to N1.332 billion in 2025, despite a growing student population. Additionally, the committee noted that over 30 staff members had died between 2023 and 2025, yet there was no evidence of death benefits paid to their next of kin.

The Rector, Dr. Suleiman Umar, represented by Deputy (Academic) Dr. Aliyu Usman, stated that all pension deductions were duly remitted to PenCom. The committee's oversight visit raised significant issues that require further clarification from the institution.
