The Polytechnic Ibadan , is an Institution of higher learning founded in August 7th, 1970 to offer an alternative form of advanced education with a specific focus on acquiring technical skills distinct from regular University system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great Institution was created as a successor to the Erstwhile Technical College , Ibadan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since inception till date, the Institution has a track record of discipline and academic excellence as evident by the products of the school. Hence, the laudable performances of her graduates in their various fields of profession .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A school with a name that commands a global respect the world over can not just be trashed in the dust bin of history to immortalize an idol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changing the name of the Institution is not only weakening a globally respected brand but reducing the school’s age – long reputation and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only Polytechnic with her naming uniqueness that came with a prefix ” The ” should not be stripped of her pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wherever the barbaric culture of renaming glorious Institutions came from\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One would feel that creating new and promising channels to immortalize heroes would be a better idea than truncating the long earned glory of outstandingly successful entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a call to salvage the great Institution from the brink of loosing her symbol of Excellence , Pride and laudable Achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE POLYTECHNIC, IBADAN, our Alma Mater must not become a mirage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s stand up to save our legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
