Offa Poly Will Stand the Test of Time, Says Rector
The new Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Offa, in Offa Local Government Area, Kwara State, Dr. Kamoru Kadiri, has vowed to make the institution stand the best of times among its peers.
Kadiri hinted that the institution under him would be made to work in all shades of development, saying that these ińclude staff productive capacity, staff welfare, aggressive infrastructural development, and re-channeling of the academic programme and culture.
He sated these in Offa, during the maiden meeting with teaching and non-teaching staff of the institution.
Kadiri noted that his appointment was a test of his competency, technical know-how, and proficiency.
The rector added that the polytechnic “remains a project in progress, a continuously evolving entity and a growing system.”
He, therefore, sought for the cooperation of staff in pushing the polytechnic to an enviable position in terms of restoring and sustaining qualitative education, productive research attitudes to solve societal problems.
He said: “The era of hypotheses, conjectures, and postulations have gone. It is now the period of workability and viability. It is now the era of pragmatism, the era of practicality. Hence, the promulgation of the four catch-word of 'the system must work' for my administration.
“I am of the strong conviction that all of us are desirous of seeing that the system works for better.”
He said the polytechnic would soon begin the production of table water and sachet water and bread.
On discipline, Kadiri pledged to lead by example, equity, and fairness in compliance with polytechnic's Act and Extant Rules.
He told the staff members that punctuality, dedication, and commitment to duty are the driving forces to progress and institutional development.
He warned the staff members against absenteeism, levity and insubordination, adding that these are factors capable of undermining institutional growth.
He promised to make staff welfare his priority and enjoined them to table complaints with diplomacy and pragmatism rather than a smear campaign of calumny and defamation.
Earlier, the Governing Council Chairman, Dr Usman Bokani Ahmed, represented by Mr. Alao Olabisi admonished the rector to work with the union and operate an open-door policy.
He urged the staff members to cooperate with the new administration for the progress and development of the institution.
