Transferring teachers from a College which is currently dealing with an inadequate number of teaching staff is akin to violating the rights of students, said Ichaoba.

He further explained that three teachers are running the Department of Economics, which was originally supposed to be operated by four educators.

Students of the College had also made appeals to the relevant authority to plug this shortage of teaching staff at the Department.

However, another teacher was transferred from the Department, of Economics, which is very unfortunate for the students, he maintained.

In addition, out of the two remaining teachers, one is bound for retirement within this year.
