h e p r o j e c t M a n a g e r KANMA Homes, Aliyu TMohammed was at the

National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) recently on a one day enlightenment talk with staff of the Board on steps to owning a property from KANMA in Kaduna Millennium City.Addressing the staff, the Manager said KANMA Homes are estate managers capable of providing high quality houses at lower prices. He said the property developers have been in existence for a long time and have presently completed a project in Abuja with an ongoing one in Delta State and Kaduna

Millennium City to make peoples dream of owning a house a reality especially that of civil servants who are to pay the mortgage for a maximum period of 25 years.Mal. Mohammed said they have houses ranging from one to five bedroom apartments with modern facilities for human comfort, noting that “all you need to do, to own a house from the estate developers (KANMA) in Kaduna millennium city, you select a house of your choice, then you fill an application form and pay the sum of N5, 000 into one of the banks account listed by the developers after which you

will be given an offer and your house will be ready in six months” the project manager explained.In his remarks, the Director of P h y s i c a l P l a n n i n g a n d Development, Tpl.

C'ttee of Chairmen of Councils of Federal Polys... Committee over their prompt responses in visi t ing their institutions, said it was heart-warming to hear that some Councils have constituted their statutory Committees and have commenced work in earnest.He said the sector is faced with series of demands by the unions w h i c h i n c l u d e t h e n o n -implementation of the report of Needs Assessment conducted in 2014 for public polytechnics, non-payment of salaries by some state-owned polytechnics and persistent shortfall in the personnel cost of Federal Polytechnics. D r . K a z a u r e a d d e d t h a t victimization of members and non-release of check-off dues in some polytechnics, non-payment of CONTISS 15 arrears and non-release of the White Paper of the Visitation Panels to some Federal Polytechnics are also of major concern to the polytechnic sector. Other challenges according to the Executive Secretary include the non-implementat ion of the National Council on Education (NCE) resolution on removal of B.Sc./HND dichotomy, delay in

review of the Polytechnic Act, non-commencement of renegotiation of the 2010 agreement as well as government tardiness in the appointment of rectors for some polytechnics among others.He said though some of the demands were union-specific, others cut across all the unions and ASUP has been more strident in its demands leading to series of ultimatums to the government.While enumerating some of the

steps taken by the Board to sustain industrial peace on the campuses and guarantee uninterrupted academic calendar, the Executive Secretary said a multi-pronged approach was adopted, comprising dialogue with unions, reaching out to agencies responsible for addressing some of the problems like the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, Budget Office and the National Assembly.
