Dr Adamau Sai’du, Rector of the Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic Bauchi, ATAP, has appealed to Bauchi State Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to construct a road network within the polytechnic community for easy movement.
The Rector said the lack of access road within the polytechnic has constituted one of the major stumbling blocks of the polytechnic.

He said the polytechnic is doing all it could to see that academic time lost to COVID-19 has been made up through.
Dr Sa’idu said in view of the dearth of manpower supply to the nation’s science and technology, the polytechnic has all it takes to produce quality manpower for the sector to fill the vacuum.
