The Federal Polytechnic Bauchi community is in mourning following the sudden death of Maccabees Thomas Ado, a first-year student in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department. Ado passed away on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at around 10 pm.

The circumstances surrounding Ado's death are not specified in the official statement, but the institution's management has taken steps to support his family. The Rector has directed the conveyance of Ado's corpse to his hometown in Zankan, Jama'a Local Government Area, Kaduna State, for burial.

The management of the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has expressed condolences to Ado's family, friends, and the entire Polytechnic community. May his soul rest in peace.

In similar incidents, the institution has experienced student fatalities in the past.

The institution's management and Students' Union Government have consistently urged authorities to enhance road safety measures around the campus.
