In his words"I want to welcome all our dear students to the Polytechnic after the yuletide and end of year breaks which incidentally marked the end of the Institution's 2005/2006 academic session. Let me in particular welcome back our returning students back to Campus for the 2009/2010 session. I do hope you enjoyed your break and I am sure you are now prepared to continue your noble search for the Golden Fleece.

May you continue to be a beacon of lights to the generation of students following your trail. To our prospective students, you are equally welcome. You are coming to the Polytechnic at a time that the Institution is witnessing a total turn around for the ultimate in all facets of its life through the strategic management plan which is now on course....
