Fintiri Pledges Bold Reforms to Revive Adamawa Polytechnic Numan

Adamawa State Deputy Governor, Professor Kaletapwa George Farauta, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to reviving the Adamawa State Polytechnic campus in Numan. During her inspection visit on Wednesday, she was deeply troubled by the deteriorating state of the institution’s facilities.

The once-thriving campus now stands in neglect, with hostels and staff quarters falling apart. Only a handful of buildings remain in decent condition, underscoring the urgent need for intervention. Professor Farauta emphasized that Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri’s administration is determined to restore the institution and improve educational standards across the state.

“As a government that values education, we are committed to revitalizing our institutions to ensure a conducive learning environment,” she stated. The deputy governor explained that the assessment visit aligns with the administration’s broader strategy to identify key challenges firsthand and implement reforms that will enhance academic excellence at the polytechnic.

Accompanying Professor Farauta was the State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Umaru Garba Pella. Reflecting on the institution’s former prestige, Dr. Pella assured residents that the government is prepared to bring the school back to its former glory. “This institution was once a beacon of knowledge, and we are resolute in our plan to restore its lost prestige for the benefit of Adamawa’s citizens,” he said.

The Rector of Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, Muhammed Dahiru Toungos, welcomed the government’s renewed interest. He expressed optimism, stating, “With government’s intervention, we believe the Numan campus will soon regain its former glory.” His statement echoed the sentiments of students and staff who have long hoped for meaningful change.

Governor Fintiri’s administration has been vocal about prioritizing education as a fundamental pillar of development. The commitment to Adamawa Polytechnic, Numan, is part of a broader agenda to reform educational institutions, ensuring they provide quality learning opportunities. The government aims to implement infrastructure upgrades, enhance staffing, and introduce policies that will improve overall academic performance.

The visit has raised expectations among students and faculty, who now look forward to seeing tangible improvements. Stakeholders believe that with the right government intervention, Adamawa Polytechnic’s Numan campus can once again become a hub for academic excellence.\
