Students from the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, have been commended by stakeholders in the sector for their excellent performances in innovation and creative inventions in the field of Science and Technology.

According to a statement signed by the Protocol, Media and Public Relations Officer of the institution, Sola Lawal, and made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Sunday, a mail was earlier sent in the month of October, 2022, by Ubelle Nigeria Limited, on behalf of Federal Ministry of Education to Polytechnics across Nigeria to submit undergraduate students’ inventions and creative innovations in the field of Science and Technology.

To this end, the Federal Polytechnic, Ede was among the few Polytechnics that submitted entries and subsequently scaled through the preliminary stage, in which four students from the institution were selected to participate in the competition, namely:

(1.) Abbey Valentine Ngozi (Mechanical Engineering Technology Department)

(2.) Afolabi Emmanuel Oluwasegun (Computer Engineering Technology Department)

(3.) Alabi Emmanuel Oluwapelumi (Electrical Engineering Technology Department)

(4.) Adeyi Adekunle Samuel (Civil Engineering Technology Department)

The team, which was led by Engr. Babatunde Emmanuel Adewumi, from the Civil Engineering Department at the end of the competition/exhibition clinched the first, second and third positions in the South-West and produced the overall best student in the South-South and South-West, in the event that was held at Vichi Gate Hotel and Suites, 72 Ihama road, GRA Benin City on 2nd November, 2022.

This exceptional feat gave the requisite leverage to Federal Polytechnic, Ede, to participate in the National competition and Grand Finale which has been billed to take place at Verabold Hotel, Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN) Headquarters, Dutsen, Kubwa Express Way, Abuja on 15th November 2022.

Meanwhile, the Acting Rector of the Polytechnic, Engr Dr. Joseph Olawole Petinrin, while congratulating the contingent for the honor done to the institution, stated that his earlier admonition for total dedication and restoration of academic excellence during his maiden interactive session with members of staff of the institution is now yielding positive results.

Petinrin, therefore, charged the contingent to be good Ambassadors of the institution, in line with the motto of the citadel, which is Knowledge, Skill and Character, and come out in flying colour at the grand finale of the competition.

"On behalf of the Governing Council, management and entire staff and students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede Osun State, congratulations to all of us", the statement quoted the Acting Rector as saying.
