By Amos Tauna, Kaduna

A civil society organization, Eagle Brain, has appealed to the Federal Government, Kaduna State Government, Chikun Local Government, and other stakeholders to halt the alleged relocation of the College of Administrative and Social Studies, Kaduna Polytechnic. The Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Brain, Daniel Ejembi, in a statement on Thursday in Kaduna, observed that there are rumors of the school’s relocation to Rigachikun, Igabi Local Government Area of the state, which would displace students, staff, and local businesses, leading to significant economic and social dislocation.

As a civil society organization dedicated to promoting justice, equity, and advancing educational opportunities in communities, Eagle Brain is concerned about the rumored relocation of the College of Administrative and Social Studies, Kaduna Polytechnic (Nnamdi Azikiwe Bye-Pass Campus) and the alarming demarcation of its land into plots. Ejembi stressed that education is the cornerstone of societal development, shaping minds, fostering innovation, and driving economic growth.

The presence of higher education institutions in communities enhances access to quality education and stimulates local economies by creating jobs and supporting businesses that cater to students and staff.

The College of Administrative and Social Studies has been a vital institution for the people of Chikun Local Government and its surrounding areas, providing invaluable services and opportunities for youth development. During a recent visit to the campus, Eagle Brain observed unsettling activities that warrant immediate attention. The open fields surrounding the school, which have historically served as communal spaces for students and local youth, are being cultivated and demarcated into numbered plots. This alarming development raises serious concerns about the future of the institution and the community it serves.

Ejembi demanded transparency regarding the demarcation of land and the rumored relocation of the college, asking who is responsible for these actions and what their intentions are. He advocated for the preservation of the College of Administrative and Social Studies as a vital resource for the community, emphasizing the need to safeguard access to education and the opportunities it provides.

Ejembi also stressed the importance of the college’s facilities, including the playground, which serves as a hub for youth engagement and development. He encouraged community members to voice their concerns and stand united against any actions that threaten their educational institutions and the well-being of their community.
