Federal Poly Oko Management Denies “Dead” Student Writing Exam Rumours

The Management authority of the Federal
Polytechnic, Oko in Anambra state has
denied rumours that a dead student wrote
an examination and was awarded marks in
the institution, describing the report as
malicious, misleading and inciting.

According to the Public Relations Officer of
the institution, Mr. Obini Onuchukwu, who
spoke to the South East Voice, those making
the alleged malicious allegations that a
deceased student was awarded marks due
to the irregularities in the CBT were
mischievous.

Obini, who spoke on behalf of the
Management, explained that after an
investigation into the matter, it was
discovered that a student of Science
Laboratory Technology, late Uche Henry,
participated in all academic work, including
examinations in August 2014 but died at
about 9p.m. on Sept 17.

He said that the deceased student having
passed all his course work had his results
released along with those of his mates, but
unfortunately some staff cashed on the
situation with some few students in the
department to blackmail the institution.

According to him, the Federal Polytechnic
Oko produced best students now, with its
sophisticated electronic teaching aids and
other facilities in place.
