Federal Polytechnic Offa Welcomes 4,311 Students Amid Record 10,000+ Applications
The Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State, has matriculated 4,311 students for the 2024/2025 academic session, including National Diploma (ND) full-time/part-time and Higher National Diploma (HND) candidates in a combined admission exercise.
Dr. Kadiri Kamoru, the Rector, stated during the matriculation ceremony that over 10,000 applicants competed for the limited slots. He revealed that 1,679 candidates were admitted into the ND part-time programme, while 4,452 secured places in the HND full-time category.
Dr. Kamoru described the admission process as highly competitive, urging new students to take their opportunities seriously and avoid complacency.
"This success of yours should not be short-lived. You must do everything humanly possible to defend your current champion status," he said.
Some of the schools in the polytechnic include School of Administrative and Business Studies, School of Applied Sciences, School of Communication and Media Studies, School of Computing, School of Entrepreneurship, School of Environmental Studies, School of General Studies, School of Industrial Engineering and Technology, School of Information Technology, School of Management Studies, School of Natural Resources Engineering, and School of Science and Technology.
The rector, who said school is not a scam, "as some naysayers would have you believe", added that the essence of education is not only for certification, but deeply rooted in something bigger and in passion to excel.
"This polytechnic offers you a unique place to excel among equals. The mantra of my administration is "the Polytechnic must work" in all shades of development, hence, the intention to transform the FEDPOFFA landscape and position it as a critical driver in every facet across infrastructure, human capital development, innovation research, entrepreneurship, enhanced community impact, staff and students welfare, improved accreditation and ranking.
"We are smart and deliberate about this by conscientiously creating opportunities that you can tap into as you sojourn here. We have created programmes through the establishment of the Skills
Development Centre (SDC), that will add values and enable you to graduate with skills beyond degrees", he said.
