“I fervently pray that the new academic session will be fruitful, rewarding, and impactful for every member of our Polytechnic Community.
‘To our newly admitted students at both the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) levels, I heartily welcome you to our beautiful, peaceful, and conducive campus. You have made the right choice by choosing FEDPOLEL as your citadel of learning, and we are delighted to have you join our Polytechnic Community.
Our Polytechnic remains unequivocally committed to academic excellence, accountability, ennttrepreneurial skills acquisition, innovation, creativity, and teamwork. We are determined to provide an enabling environment in which our students can acquire relevant knowledge, practical skills, and the right values to succeed in their chosen careers and contribute meaningfully to national development.
At FEDPOLEL, we maintain zero tolerance for cultism, misconduct in any form, disobedience to constituted authorities, and violations of the Polytechnic’s extant rules and regulations. I therefore urge all students to shun all forms of social vices, conduct themselves responsibly, and familiarise themselves with the Students’ Information Handbook, which serves as an important guide to acceptable conduct and institutional regulations.
As you begin your academic journey in this Institution, be assured that Management is committed to providing the necessary facilities and support to make your learning experience meaningful and worthwhile. These include a well-stocked digital library, conducive classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, hostel facilities, and other essential learning resources.
Furthermore, I charge all newly admitted students to be law-abiding, disciplined, and focused as they pursue their academic goals with dedication, determination, and perseverance. You must remain committed to your studies, make judicious use of the opportunities available to you, and strive for excellence in your respective programmes.
To our returning students, I warmly welcome you back from the long vacation. I encourage you to approach the new academic session with renewed commitment, enthusiasm, and vigour. Be diligent, manage your time effectively, and avoid procrastination. Always remember that success in academics requires consistency, discipline, and the determination to do the right thing at the right time.
Let me reiterate that Management will not condone unethical practices within the Polytechnic. These include the extortion of money from students, the sale of handouts in any form, the writing of academic projects on behalf of students, and the sale of food and other related items in offices. Any member of staff found culpable of such misconduct will face appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the Polytechnic’s extant rules and regulations. All staff members are therefore enjoined to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct in the discharge of their duties.
On a joyful note, Management congratulates Mr. Taiwo Akintayo, a staff member of the Department of Civil Engineering, on his marriage to Mrs. Omowumi Akintayo. The couple exchanged marital vows on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Saint Luke’s Anglican Church, Ile-Oluji. We pray that Almighty God will sustain their union, bless their home, grant them peace, and happiness.
On behalf of Management, I wish all staff and students a productive, fulfilling, and successful 2026/2027 Academic Session.
Thank you, and God bless.”
