“Nigerians need people who are dedicated and are ready to work and serve humanity but we need people to encourage them to do so and more.”

“My positive performance in office in her first tenure might have influenced the decision of the Federal Government to re-appoint her for a second term.”

“Students want to learn and that is why we are exploiting that avenue. We keep them busy with academic and entrepreneurial activities and leadership training. That is why we have experienced phenomenal reduction in cultism in the school.”

“Unfortunate attitude is discouraging people from giving their best to the growth of our country.”

“Nigerians had failed to encourage leaders, who had done well in their various professions.”

“That the management of the institution was able to curb cultism through productive engagement of its students.”

“For January we were paid and they got their salaries through December system and that is what we have been using for quite some time now. So it ought not to be an issue because they all know it is not within the control of the polytechnic.”

“When we did approval it was showing insufficient fund and so in January this year we wrote to the office of the accountant general and the minister of finance to complain.”

“Well, the polytechnic is on a platform where payments are made directly from the CBN into individual accounts and last year December we had a short fall of the salary and this salaries have already been uploaded. We only interact with the issue of salary online where somebody reviews and another person approves.”

“The unpaid salary arrears ought not to be an issue, as it was not in the control of the polytechnic.”

“Government should ensure that only people with verse knowledge of educational institution were appointed to head such institutions.This became necessary as it would not only ensure a seamless and uninterrupted academic calendar, but also the growth and development of such institutions. (NAN)”

“We import skills to do our roads but we have them in the polytechnic sector.”

“Nations who were desirous of development had made technical and vocational education their priority.”

“Technical and vocational education would provide the skilled manpower needed to drive the economy.”

“Federal Government should focus more on the development of technical and vocational education to achieve sustainable economic development.”

“Students should incorporate ICT into their learning in line with global trends.”

“132 offices would be commissioned for the use by workers this year.”

“The school wants to ensure conducive learning environment for all students rather than admitting students that would overcrowd its facilities.”

“Those caught with fake credentials and certificates would be expelled while those caught engaging in examination malpractices would be rusticated.”

“We must appreciate the efforts of the Rector, Dr. (Mrs.) P.O. Idogho who has taken giant strides in all areas since she came on board especially in human capacity development for both academic and non-academic staff.”
