Again! Kogi Poly Warn Lecturers Say Students Mustn’t be Forced to Buy Textbooks

This was contained in a memo directed to all heads of departments and Deans from the office of the polytechnic book committee.
The committee ruled that all textbooks are to be sold at the polytechnic bookshop therefore forcing students to buy textbooks through class representatives will not be tolerated.
“Henceforth, all Books not approved by the Book Committee should not be sold to students. Book(s) written by single Authors below the rank of Senior Lecturer and its equivalent should be phased out by the end of the 2019/2020 session…

The committee added “Forcing students either directly or subtly to buy textbooks is not acceptable.”
