       The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) on Thursday
       announced the dismissal of 12 lecturers of Auchi Polytechnic,
       Auchi in connection with sexual-related offences.
       The Executive Secretary of the board, Masa'udu Kazaure, who made
       this known at a news conference in Kaduna, said 16 other
       lecturers were demoted, while four others were warned.
       He also said two others were advised, another two cautioned,
       while one lecturer would be mentored.
       He said the development was the outcome of an investigation
       following a publication by The Punch newspaper of April 9, 2016
       with the title: "School Where Prostitutes Assist Male Students
       to Get Marks".
       He said: "The summery of the publication indicated that students
       hire prostitutes or beg their girlfriends to sleep with
       lecturers on their behalf in order to earn higher grades in
       their courses.
       "The lecturer chooses a hotel of his choice and the affected
       students pay the hotel bills, which include the meals before the
       action.
       "Some of the lecturers give the option of paying by cash, which
       cost between N10, 000 and N20, 000, which could give the student
       not more than a 'C' grade.
       "We promptly informed the Minister of Education, Independent
       Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC),
       Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and Department of
       Security Services (DSS)."
       Mr. Kazaure said the board, therefore, constituted a
       fact-finding committee with representation from EFCC, ICPC, DSS,
       NBTE and the Federal Ministry of Education and gave it one week
       within which to getting to the root of the matter.
       The committee was also to proffer lasting solutions to the
       problem.
       He said the committee submitted its report on June 14, 2016,
       which was deliberated by the board and recommendations submitted
       to the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
