“It has distinguished itself as one of the centres of academic excellence and has become an attraction for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions.”

This, he said, has been largely due to the school’s track record of maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted academic calendar over the years, particularly under his administration.

He called on the students to be diligent in their academic work and be honest in the pursuit of their dreams, adding that they must avoid been captives of the social media.

Adekolawole noted that the polytechnic “takes serious exception to issues that border on indiscipline and lawlessness particularly when such actions involve violence, cultism, internet fraud, examination malpractice, indecent dressing and the likes.

He thus urged them to shun all forms of vices that can jeopardize the completion of their studies, as he promiseded that the management will continue to wage war against nefarious activities of secret cults on the campus.
