He added that the new intakes are lucky to sail through to be admitted into the fastest growing Polytechnic in Nigeria, Africa Sub-sahara.

Dr. Olatunji implored the students to stay away completely from any act of drug abuse, indecent dressing, cultism and other social vices that are capable of terminating their studentship, saying that the Polytechnic has zero tolerance for these vices.

He added that cheating during examination or continuous assessment, stealing, physical and sexual assault, wearing crazy jeans, plaiting coloured hair ( attachment), piercing of nose, wearing short gown, skimpy clothes, using leg chain...etc are prohibited.

“If you are caught and found guilty of any of these vices, the Polytechnic will not desist to take the appropriate sanction, which may include expulsion,” he warned.

Dr. Olatunji said that the institution is among the most sought-after due to its stable academic calendar, and that all its programmes are fully accredited at the ND and HND levels with seasoned lecturers.


The Rector added that after accreditation by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the polytechnic will commence National Diploma in Art and Design, Purchasing and Supply, Public Administration, Agricultural Technology, Agricultural Engineering, Geological Technology, Hospitality Management, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and Petroleum Resources Engineering. While Surveying and Geoinformatics, Urban and Regional Planning will start running Higher National Diploma (HND) programs.
