In the recent months, ATAP radio which is the first compus Radio not only in Bauchi State but in the North east of the country faced alot of challenges leading to low and regular interrupted transmission.
Students of the department, the lecturers and the entire polytechnic Community were deeply and seriously concerned about the situation.
