Receiving the contingent on campus, Rector, Alhaji Mas'ud Elelu, praised the team for proving their worth and making the polytechnic proud.

He said the management is making a frantic effort to gear the contractor constructing the new auto-modern Stadium to complete it before the end of this year.

Elelu stressed that the completion of the institution's stadium would enhance their performance and earn it the right to host the Nigeria Polytechnic Games (NIPOGA) Games.

The Rector therefore, advised the members of the contingent to face their studies and improve their sporting skills to prevent them from joining bad company. tweet
