Date: 2016-12-18

Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed yesterday warned youths in the state to eschew cultism.

He added that anyone found guilty of involvement in cultism and other related activities risks a-ten year jail term, rustication and fine. Governor Ahmed said this in Ilorin, the state capital, at the 23rd combined Convocation ceremony of Kwara State Polytechnic. His words My administration has no tolerance for cultism and related activities within and outside academic institutions. Anyone found guilty of involvement in such illegality risks a ten-year jail term, a hefty fine and rustication", he warned. Governor Ahmed also re-emphasised that education remains a top priority for his administration in line with recognition of functional educational as a key ingredient of development and growth.

He advised tertiary institutions in the country to make entrepreneurship a compulsory course rather than as a first year elective. His words: "I therefore, encourage the polytechnic to continue to embark on technological innovations that will address our numerous socio-economic problems and exploit emerging opportunities by partnering with the private sector in order to access funding for their research and a market for your innovations."

Earlier, Rector of the institution, Alhaji Masud Elelu, disclosed that no fewer than 48,761 students received both national diploma and higher national diploma awards.
