The rector, while speaking with newsmen after inspecting the newly constructed Department of Tourism and Mass Communication (HND) complexes, said that aside the disabled people, students wishing to study Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Education in the polytechnic could also enrol free of charge.
According to him, the gesture is aimed at empowering people with disabilities educationally and motivating basic science students, because secondary schools in the state do not have adequate Mathematics, Physics and chemistry teachers.
He further explained that the polytechnic came up with the policy in order to give everyone equal education opportunity in line with the resolve of the government to promote quality education.
Suleiman Lame also stated that the Polytechnic, in collaboration with the Bauchi State Commission for Youth and Women Rehabilitation and Development (BACYWORD), is currently training about 4,000 youths drawn from the 20 local governments of the state on entrepreneurial skills and remedial studies.
Those who pass through the remedial studies, he said, would be given automatic admissions into the various departments in the polytechnic, while others would be assisted to secure admissions into universities of their choice.
All the entrepreneurial trainees are expected to start up small scale businesses and become self-mployed at the end of the training.
He commended the state government and the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) for the construction of needed structures and provision of requisite equipment in the polytechnic, which he noted paved the way for the accreditation of all its programmes by all the relevant regulatory bodies.
