In its bid to improve the standard of academic work in the institution and bring quality degree education closeto the doorsteps of the people, the authorities of
Crown Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, and Federal University of Technology, Minna, have signed a memorandum of understanding for the award of degrees in eleven courses of the polytechnic.
Crown Poly, which is the first private polytechnic in Ekiti State, got its operational licence in 2008 and for the award of degrees, entered into an agreement with the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, recently.
Addressing newsmen on the development at the weekend, the Rector of the polytechnic, Dr Aderemi Oke, said the institution was able to win the confidence of the university following the improvement in the facilities at the polytechnic, through the overhauling of its laboratories with modern science and technology equipment and the construction of more classrooms.
Oke, the Registrar, Mr David Olukowade and the Director ofExternal Degree Programme, Mr Joseph Awe, signed the MoU on behalf of the polytechnic's management, while the Vice Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Audu, the Registrar, Mrs Victoria Kolo and Director of Collaboration, Dr Ogbonnaya Chukwu, signed the agreement on behalf of the university at a ceremony in Minna, Niger State.
Under the arrangement, FUT Minna will now award Bachelorof Technology (B Tech.) degrees at the Polytechnic in Estate Management, Quantity Surveying, Urban and Regional Planning, Fisheries Technology, Mathematics/Statistics.
Others are: Microbiology, Physics Electronics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
As a way of ensuring smooth take-off of the academic alliance, the rector hinted thatmore structures had been constructed within the institution, while more lecture theatres had also been provided for conducive learning environment.
Oke , however, clarified that under the bipartite agreement, FUTMINNA would be fully in charge by way of admitting the prospective students, while academic trainings, marking of scripts and supervision of all examinations will also be under the direct control of theuniversity's management.
He said the two institutions would provide the manpower that would drive the programme, which was billed to commence by September, 2012 .
The rector further clarified that the regulatory body for all Nigerian polytechnics, the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), had, duringits inspection of facilities in the polytechnic, gave the institution a clean bill of healthto run the programme based on infrastructures on ground.
Oke said the polytechnic will still subject itself to National University Commission's scrutiny, whose final verdict will finally seal the deal, before the commencement of the programmes.
