Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Rivers State chapter, Comrade Good F. N. has assured that his executive will focus on the promotion of peace and development at the Rivers State Polytechnic (RIVPOLY).

Comrade Good, who stated this recently while briefing the press in his office at the RIVPOLY, Bori, noted that his six months old executive has already recorded remarkable achievements towards ensuring development in the institution.

According to him, such achievements include saving “some funds for the union, and representing the institution adequately at both state and national meetings.”

He continued that efforts is currently being made to host a national conference in RIVPOLY, saying that a committee to actualise these plans would soon be set up.
