The Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) may soon become a degree-awarding institution. the Rector, Mr Olayinka Sogunro, said on Saturday.

Speaking on Saturday, the Rector of LASPOTECH, Olayinka Sogunro said that, by the upgrade, the institution would operate National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND) and degree programmes.

He added “We are working on the upgrade of this polytechnic to a university status, but our polytechnic will be different from the conventional university because we are not going to abandon our National Diploma and Higher National Diploma programmes. We are going to run them concurrently so that students would have acquired the necessary skills and theoretical path upon graduation,’’.

Sogunro also noted that the Lagos State Government has promised to improve the institution’s learning environment in line with the proposed upgrade and complete building the school’s sports ground, which will begin in January 2018.

“Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode said that he would provide a befitting 5,000-capacity auditorium estimated at N3.2 billion, an administration block that was to cost N1.9 billion in 2003, and students’ hostels,’’ he said.

Sogunro called on students and staff of the institution to improve the quality of their research output, noting that the survival of any economy would depend on the quality of its human capital.
