The Oyo state government on Tuesday set up a 12-member committee to carry out a comprehensive staff audit of The Polytechnic, Ibadan to ensure an up-to-date record of the staff.

The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Salihu Adelabu, while inaugurating the committee chaired by Dr. Bisi Ojebola at the Board of Studies Chamber(BOS), of the Polytechnic Ibadan, stated that the staff audit exercise is not meant to witch-hunt any staff.

He explained that the staff audit became inevitable to enable the government to have accurate data on all authentic and genuinely employed staff of the institution.

He maintained that the committee is given just two weeks to submit its report, urging the committee to be diligent in discharging the assignment given to them.

Earlier, the Chairman of the committee, Dr. Bisi Ojebola, said the committee would do the work given to them diligently with the fair of God.

He stated that the committee is meant to assist the staff and not to do any harm to the staff of the institution.

In his remarks, the Acting Rector of the Institution, Dr. Taiwo Lasis, said the staff audit is long overdue.

He said the audit will enable the institution to know its areas of strengths and weaknesses.
