In a special gesture by the rector, a special recognition and award of commendation with a sum of N10,000 cash award was also given to an ND I student of Mass Communication Department, Fadugba Pelumi for perfectly reciting the lyrics of the polytechnic’s anthem during the orientation programme.
The rector of the polytechnic, Dr Dayo Oladebeye while welcoming the students to the institution warned that, “you must not, under any circumstances, take laws into your hands, as this may lead to the disruption of the academic calendar with the programme duration being unduly prolonged.”
Oladebeye reiterated that the future socio-economic status or potential of the students would largely be determined by what they were able to do with the opportunities placed at their disposal during the period of their studentship of the polytechnic.
