The Milton Margai Technical University (MMTU) is facing growing concern due to delays in publishing academic results, affecting students’ academic and professional plans.

Many students missed deadlines for submitting their dissertations, leading to a backlog in the grading process. Additionally, some lecturers contributed to the delay by failing to submit grades on time.

This dual issue has caused widespread anxiety, with students depending on their results for scholarships, graduation, and further studies.

The university, transitioning to full university status, is under scrutiny for its handling of the situation, raising concerns about its academic administration.

MMTU has pledged to resolve the issue by holding lecturers accountable and introducing penalties for late grading and student submissions.

Measures include withholding salaries from lecturers who miss deadlines. Despite these efforts, the delay has tarnished the institution’s reputation, leading to frustration among students and calls for better accountability from both lecturers and students.

The university aims to prevent future delays and restore confidence in its academic processes, stressing the need for greater discipline and responsibility across the academic community.
