Ondo Govt Commended For Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Transformation
The Owo Community in Ondo State has commended the state government for improving infrastructure at the state-owned Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO).
The community spoke through its monarch, Olowo of Owo, Oba Victor Olateru-Olagbegi, who led a delegation on a visit to Governor Olusegun Mimiko in his office in Akure.
He said the infrastructural deficiencies in the polytechnic before Mimiko’s administration is a thing of the past as the institution boasts of world-class facilities, quality lecturers and uninterrupted academic calendar, among others.
Olowo said: “I am impressed by what the Ondo State Government has done in recent times. The last time I visited (the polytechnic) was shortly after my enthronement and I must confess, not much was there to be showcased. But on my recent visit, I saw massive development and interventions that are worthy of commendation. I must say you have done well,” the Olowo said.
Oba Olagbegi said the Federal Government, the polytechnic community and, indeed, all stakeholders in the institution must also be commended for the new vista that has been opened in the polytechnic.
The Rector, Prof Igbekele Ajibefun and Fadimbola noted that the people of the town and members of the polytechnic community would never forget the dividends of democracy brought to them by state government.
Mimiko thanked the team for the visit. He congratulated the Owo community and the institution for poly’s recent rating as the best in the country.
The governor said this was good news in an era when the Adekunle Ajasin University,Akungba Akoko(AAUA) got ranked as the best state owned university in the country.
Mimiko expressed delight that both the state-owned Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko and the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo had been adjudged the best state institutions in the country by the Transparency International in the United States.
He said the successes recorded by the institutions are the result of deliberate injection of funds, in a quantum that had no precedence in the history of the polytechnic, and the professional imprint of the first class Rector.
