Professor Oyinkari also used the occasion to advocate renewed support for polytechnic and technical education in Nigeria, noting that such institutions remain critical to national industrial and technological development.
He praised members of staff for their dedication and thanked parents, guardians, community leaders, and institutional partners for supporting the college’s vision.
