The Rector of the institution, Dr Mufutau Olatinwo, congratulated the new students, stating that “statistics shows that over 100,000 applicants applied for various programmes in the polytechnic this academic session but we could only admit less than two percent of the number.”
The Rector re-emphasised the commitment of the management to deliver quality training so as to produce graduates that could fit into the developmental agenda of the government and the aspirations of the society. He urged the students not to relent in their primary assignment on the campus, saying “the Academic Board of the polytechnic will not hesitate to withdraw any student who performs below expectation in his or her academic work.”
Dignitaries included Deans of faculties, heads of department, members of governing council, lecturers and invited guests. Speaking to CAMPUSLIFE after the ceremony, the Dean of Student Affairs (DSA), Adeyinka Adeyemi, advised students to approach his office if any has a complaint, saying lawlessness would not be condoned.
Hammed Abiodun, admitted to study Computer Science, expressed gratitude to God for his admission into the polytechnic.
After the matriculation ceremony, the Campus Radio and Love Garden Recreational Centre built by the Students Union Government (SUG) were inaugurated by the Rector. Answering questions from CAMPUSLIFE Mr. Adebanjo Davies, a staff in Student Affairs unit, said the SUG officials were dynamic. He urged students to cooperate with the school management and the SUG to move the polytechnic to a greater height.
