A lecturer at the Kogi State Polytechnic has died in class, sparking apprehension among students and staff.
The incident occurred at the polytechnic's main campus, where the lecturer, Mr Ojodomo, was teaching. His death is the second in a month, following that of Dr. Barnabas Akuba in February.
Details surrounding the cause of Mr Ojodomo's death are still unclear. The polytechnic's management has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
The sudden loss of two lecturers in a short period has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of students and staff at the institution.
The polytechnic's management is expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Ojodomo's death.
The Kogi State Polytechnic's management must take immediate action to address the safety concerns raised by these tragic incidents. The loss of two lecturers in a short period is a stark reminder of the need for better working conditions and emergency preparedness at the institution. The polytechnic's administration must provide clear answers on the cause of Mr Ojodomo's death and take concrete steps to prevent such incidents in the future. This is not just a matter of institutional pride, but a matter of life and death for the students and staff who depend on the polytechnic for their education and livelihood. The government must also take a closer look at the working conditions and welfare of lecturers in public institutions.
