[/color] Opposite Redeemed Christian Church, Osomegbe Quarters, Iyakpi – South Ibie, Edo State. 2nd May, 2018. The Chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) FCT-Abuja. Sir, QUESTIONABLE ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES AND SHARP PRACTICES IN THE CAREER PROGRESSION OF DR. SANUSI MOMODU JIMAH, RECTOR, AUCHI POLYTECHNIC, AUCHI FROM 1998 TILL DATE. This is to bring to the notice of the Independence Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) that Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah, Rector, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi is parading academic certificates that are questionable in its entirely coupled with fraudulent conversion and promotion from one level to another as an academic staff in the employ of Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, without due process as spelt out in chapter 3, article 3.3 (C) 3.4 (a) 3.7, 3.10 of the Federal Polytechnic Staff manual of 1990.(See Annexure 1) CORRUPTION, PROCEDURAL BREACH AND MALPRACTICES IN HIS CONVERSION TO THE LECTURER CADRE. The enabling law clearly stipulates that applicant seeking conversion from the instructor cadre must possess a Masters Degree in his relevant field of study before he/she is deemed qualified and can be invited for interview and subsequent conversion (if appointable), from Principal Instructor to Senior Lecturer cadre. As at October 1998 when he was interviewed for the post of Senior Lecturer, his highest qualification was a Post Higher National Diploma (PHND) in Urban and Regional planning, yet found not appointable as he scored below the required marks of 50% as stipulated by the enabling laws. Out of fraud, breach of due process and corruption, he was converted to Lecturer 1 via a letter dated 22nd April, 1999 which reads thus. “Based on the interview of 7th October 1998, the Rector has graciously approved your conversion effective June, 1998” (see annexure 2) also regulation 7.9 of the code of conduct for public officers. 3.2 (a-b) of chapter 3 of the federal polytechnics staff manual of 1990 under promotion procedures What a monumental fraud and breach of procedure? This implies that he was converted before the interview. Dr. Jimah was interviewed for the post of a Senior Lecturer on 7th October 1998 but was found not appointable due to his poor performance. He was fraudulently converted to Lecturer 1 in June, 1998, four (4) months before his interview for conversion to a Senior Lecturer without a Masters Degree in the relevant field of study. This is a monumental and unprecedented fraud. He was promoted from a Principal Instructor 11 to Principal Instructor 1 in January, 1998, five months to his interview without interview, all these without a Masters Degree in the relevant field, which is a basic prerequisite for any academic staff to be promoted beyond the rank of a Lecturer 1. He was again swiftly promoted in 2001 from the Unmerited Lecturer 1 to a Senior Lecturer without fulfilling the necessary requirement of having a Masters Degree in the relevant field and spending at least three (3) Years in the position being promoted from, contrary to chapter 3, article 3.3 (c) 3.4 (b) 3.7, 3.10 of the Federal Polytechnic staff manual of 1990. On 3rd July, 1999 after his fraudulently conversion, he was issued a query by the then Registrar of the Institution, F. I. Ogunbor over his culpability in a bloody cult clash on campus as his response to the query was found Unsatisfactory by panel. This marked the commencement of a disciplinary process. (see annexure 3). While this disciplinary action was being awaited, he was again promoted in 2005, yet without a Masters Degree in his relevant field.( see annexure 4) Dr. Jimah did not have a Masters Degree in his relevant field Until 2008, but was promoted severally without recourse to due process.( see annexure 5). The conversion process which took effect before the interview and all the promotions he had before 2008 amidst his involvement in Cult activities should be rendered null and void The Masters in Business Administration (MBA) which he obtained in 2003 after he was promoted to the rank of a Senior Lecturer with his highest qualification then as a post-HND, has no place in the academics. (see annexure 6). Engr. Akanbi Peters Olusola of the chemical engineering department of the institution was demoted recently by the management and council for not having a masters degree in the relevant field when Jimah who is now orchestrating this was promoted fraudulently to Senior Lecturer and Principal Lecturer with a Post HND before eventually obtained a masters in his relevant area in 2008. Jimah was converted five (5) months before his interview and four(4) months before he obtained his Post Higher National Diploma PHND on 25th September, 1998 since his interview was 7th October, 1998. By implication, he applied to be converted to a senior lecturer with his Higher National Diploma HND since the effective date was June, 1998. This is a monumental fraud and breach of due process. Many other academic staff of the Institution have remained in the same position of Lecturer 1, all because they are yet to obtain Masters Degree in their relevant areas. Eg. Mr. Ben Ewemie, Ahmed S. Anavberokhai both of the school of General Studies. SIMULTANEOUS COLLECTION OF MASTERS DEGREE RESULT AND PHD ADMISSION LETTER ON SAME DATE AND DAY From his academic records, he collected his Masters Degree notification of result on the 27th March, 2008, which was effective on 26the March, 2008. In the same vein, he was allegedly issued admission letter to undergo a PhD programme on same day and date. this is highly questionable. Sources from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma Edo State, Indicate that Jimah’s purported PhD certificate was illegally obtained in less than three (3) years from the institution. This is the period when the institution recorded a loss of over one academic session in the entire University at both the postgraduate and Undergraduate levels. It might interest all and sundry to note that “No Postgraduate” student admitted into the University in 2008 graduated earlier than 2013, due to the crises and other related issues which characterized the institution between 2008 and 2013. The records are verifiable. Jimah who has been a full time academic staff of Auchi Polytechnic could not have at the same time undergone a full time programme of less than three (3) years since he is not a ghost or omnipresent as records abound that such approval was never sought by him nor granted by the management of Auchi Polytechnic if they were ever obtained legally. These are verifiable facts. In view of the above, the anti-graft agencies and other stakeholders should as a matter of urgency, carryout a detailed, investigation on these criminal acts of Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah and his accomplices who have been defrauding the education sector through Unmerited promotions, breach of due process, conspiracy and other corrupt practices and bring them to book while correcting the anomalies and absurdities in such conversion promotion, upgrading, appointments etc. It is an unimaginable national disgrace and disaster to note that a fraudulent and dubious man was appointed Rector by the ministry of education for an academic institution, where the characters of our would – be leaders of tomorrow are supposed to be well moulded. It is high time these anomalies are corrected to enable our dear country Nigeria, move forward and make a good point among the comity of nations fighting corruption. Yours Sincerely.
