Federal Polytechnic Bauchi Commends Student Union Government's Transparent Riders Screening Process

The management of Federal Polytechnic Bauchi (FPTB) has commended the Student Union Government (SUG) for its transparent and smooth screening process of SUG riders.

The SUG conducted the initial screening on December 14, shortlisting 145 applicants out of 200. However, due to a security alert, the management re-screened the applicants on December 23. The Dean of the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Umar Babuga Sulaiman, represented the management during the re-screening exercise.

Dean Sulaiman praised the SUG's screening process, stating that it was "very transparent, and relevant questions were asked particularly those that had to do with identification, residency and security." The screening involved verifying plate numbers, appearance, and other relevant criteria.

The SUG has warned successful candidates to maintain a high level of decency and prioritize student welfare. Additionally, the union has prohibited riders from selling or hiring out their official shirts, warning that such actions could result in arrest and withdrawal of the shirt.
