During the Academic Board meeting, the Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman, expressed his delight with the performance of the students. He attributed this success to the impact of the policies implemented by the Management under his leadership.
These policies include streamlined admission processes, stringent measures against unethical practices such as extortion and forceful imposition of substandard textbooks, and measures against examination misconduct. Other policies such as provision of standard textbooks in the Library, on-campus residence, recruitment of new academic staff, and prompt release of results were also implemented.
The introduction of Computer Based Test (CBT) in the examination of General Studies courses and e-results computation have also yielded positive results. The Rector thanked the staff and Governing Council for their support and paid tribute to the non-interference policy of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello. He also thanked the Deputy Rector and Deans for their meticulous scrutiny of the students’ results in line with the quality assurance measures.
The Rector expressed his satisfaction with the positive results and urged staff and students to sustain the academic feat for more achievements.
