The Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, has warned its students to shun improper dressing, cultism, examination malpractice and other social vices.

During his speech on Friday at the 32nd matriculation ceremony of the institutions  for the 2014/2015 session, the Rector, Dr. Philipa Idogho urged the 12,000 newly admitted students to resist temptations from people of questionable character.

"The management of the polytechnic frowns at membership of cult groups," the Rector said.
