A team of the National
Board for Technical Education (NBTE) led by the Director of Polytechnic
programmes, Arc Ngbede Ogoh, visited the Polytechnic Iresi for resource
inspection of the new departments that are ready to commence academic
programmes at both ND and HND levels. The inspection which took place on
13th and 14th of September 2022 was yet another impeccable milestone for the Polytechnic
Iresi, the fastest growing private Polytechnic in Nigeria.
In his remark, Arc. Ogoh
affirmed that the Polytechnic Iresi is not inferior to any Polytechnic in Nigeria.
“The NBTE recognises your institution the same way we recognise other federal
and state institutions in the country. The Director further proclaimed
that the Polytechnic Iresi is the second established community Polytechnic in
the whole southwest Nigeria after Igbaja Polytechnic, but has become the first in terms of
human resources and facilities.
The Rector of the Polytechnic
Iresi, Engr. Dr. Kadiri Kamoru Oluwatoyin in his opening address showered encomium
on Iresi Community for their unquantifiable contributions towards the growth and
development of the Polytechnic. According
to the Rector, “All achievements would not have come to be if not for the unending
support of the well-meaning sons of the soil. The enthusiasm and the zeal for
the development of this Institution from the Iresi Community is unquantifiable”.
In the same vein, The Chairman,
Governing Council of the Polytechnic, Prof. Omolayo Ajayi added that the unity
and cooperation in Iresi Community have triggered the incredible growth and
development the Polytechnic has witnessed over the years. While compelling the
NBTE team, the Council Chairman urged the team to also use their influence to assist
the Polytechnic in appealing to the government and other meaningful
stakeholders with good motorable road network. Prof. Ajayi noted that poor
condition of the roads withing the community and its environs has been one of
the challenges facing the Polytechnic, and if fixed, it will further lead to more
development of the Polytechnic as there will be easy access for commuters and
visitors of the higher citadel of learning.
