RIVPOLY Warms Staff Against Sexual Harassment, Sorting, Other Vices

The Management of Kenule Beeson Saro Wiwa Polytechnic (KENPLOY) has threatened to discipline any staff who prioritises harassment of female students in the campus.
The Polytechnic also said it would discipline any staff who is involved in sorting and other related vices in the institution.
The Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr. Ledum S. Gwarah gave the warning at a one-day workshop for administrative, non-teaching staff of the Polytechnic, in Bori, yesterday.
Gwarah said, “Management would not condone acts inimical to the successful realisation of our target goals as discipline measures will be taken against staff who prioritise harassment of female students, sorting and related vices among others.”
The Rector said further that his administration would defend all staff who are unjustly treated by their superiors and ensure that justice and fair play supersede all primordial interest.
He charged the staff of the Polytechnic to be diligent, take their work seriously, and display responsible and credible job ethics.
Dr. Gwarah assured the readiness of the management to prioritize the welfare of all staff, saying the management is working on more practical measures to motivate workers.
He commended the staff and the newly employed for their contributions to the growth of the institution.
Earlier, the Registrar of the institution, Dr. Emmanuel Onwuka, said the workshop was conceived to reintroduce staff to the work ethics of the Polytechnic which has been ignored for some time.
According to him, the workshop is aimed at giving the entire non-teaching staff a new sense of belonging in the chemistry of administrative knowledge.
“When the right tools of instruction is given to a staff, he will enjoy job satisfaction which will inturn lead to greater productivity,” he said.
The Registrar enjoined the non-teaching staff to take their work seriously and avoid any act of indiscipline and disloyalty to constituted authority.
