Kaduna State Scholarship & Loans Board retweetledi
I had the pleasure of receiving the management team of Kaduna Polytechnic, an institution I am proud to call one of my alma maters. The delegation, ably led by the Rector, Dr. Suleiman Umar, conveyed thoughtful reflections on our administration’s ongoing efforts to reposition the education sector in Kaduna State. Their gracious acknowledgment of our initiatives: ranging from the reduction of school fees and decisive action against the scourge of out-of-school children, to the construction of new schools, the recruitment and retraining of teachers, and the steady upgrading of educational infrastructure, was deeply appreciated.
Our engagement afforded me an opportunity to reflect on my formative years at the Polytechnic, where I acquired not only knowledge but also enduring values that continue to guide my public service. I commended the management for their steadfast commitment to preserving the institution’s standards and urged them to remain resolute in their pursuit of excellence and innovation.
I was particularly honoured by the iconic institution’s invitation to serve as Special Guest of Honour at the forthcoming Convocation Ceremony and 70th Anniversary celebration of the Polytechnic, a milestone of enduring significance that I look forward to celebrating with pride. I was equally humbled by the management’s decision to confer on me the prestigious title of Fellow of the Polytechnic, the highest honour bestowed by the institution.
I assured the management of our administration’s resolve to further upgrade, reconstruct and rehabilitate infrastructures within the institution in order to provide a more conducive learning environment for both staff and students. I reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Kaduna State Government to supporting the welfare of staff and students, and to strengthening the Polytechnic’s capacity to deliver quality, future-ready education.
