Fresh ND I and HND I students of The Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti have been charged to shun, in its entirety, all forms of lack of commitment to their studies and other unwarranted anti social behaviours that may be inimical to their progress as well as to the peace and stability of the Institution.
Giving this charge in his maiden matriculation address on Friday 28th, April, 2023, Rector of the Institution, Dr. Temitope John Alake charged the new ND I and HND I students admitted for the 2022/2023 Academic Session to see their admission as a rare priviledge to have been considered among many others who were not so fortunate to be admitted.
The Rector implored the fresh students to do their best in the course of their studentship in order to come out in flying colours as the future looks very promising ahead of them.
The Institution, Dr. Alake stated, has continued and will continue in its stride to maintain its status and standard as a Polytechnic that is highly sought after and one of the best and most desirable Institutions which candidates seeking admission into Nigerian polytechnics always target for qualitative training and unparalleled skills mentorship with good certification.
While emphasising that the Institution under his watch will not condone any form of vandalism or social rascality capable of demeaning or bringing the Polytechnic into disrepute, Dr. Alake apprised the Matriculants with the essence of the core values of his administration, which he reiterated is anchored on Discipline, Integrity, Sacrifice, Excellence, Creativity and Teamwork, (D-I-S-E-C-T)
As a way to promote diligence in academics and further encourage hard work on the part of serious students, 63 Polytechnic Scholars, who came top of their respective classes at NDI and HNDI levels during the 2021/2022 Academic Session bagged cash award with Certificate of commendation and also had golden handshake with the Rector, while collecting their certificate.
The Rector charged the matriculating students to also give serious attention to their skills acquisition, which are numerous, through the Center for Entrepreneurship, Development and Vocational Studies (CEDVS) as well as their unhindered participation in sporting activities as these extra skills will help complement their certificate upon graduation.
Dr. Alake however assured the matriculants that the Management under his watch will do everything possible within the ambit of available resources to enhance students welfare and give them an enabling environment to achieve excellence in their academics.
