The Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, Prof. Salihu Sanusi Avidime, has formally charged students and lecturers to return fully to academic engagements as second semester activities commence in earnest.
Although the institution resumed on Friday, 27th February, full academic operations effectively began today, marking the transition from resumption formalities to structured teaching, learning, and administrative coordination.
At the Principal Officers’ meeting held earlier today, the Rector emphasized the urgent need for both students and lecturers to return to the classrooms without delay.
He reiterated that the Polytechnic remains fundamentally an academic community, and that discipline, punctuality, and commitment to lectures are indispensable to achieving institutional excellence and maintaining the academic calendar.
In furtherance of strengthening operational efficiency, Prof. Avidime officially introduced Mr. Isah Abu Okikiri, the Ag. Co-ordinator, Information Technology and Resource Centre (ITRC), and Mr. John Amos Onimisi, the Ag. Co-ordinator, Public Relations to the Principal Officers; noting that the two appointments are strategically aimed at enhancing institutional communication, technological coordination, and overall administrative effectiveness.
The Rector also strongly reiterated the compulsory wearing of valid institutional identity cards by all staff and students within the campus premises.
According to him, proper identification remains a critical security measure necessary for safeguarding lives, property, and the integrity of the institution.
He stressed that compliance is non-negotiable and forms part of the collective responsibility to maintain order within the Polytechnic community.
Furthermore, Prof. Avidime warned that the use of fake identity cards amounts to criminality and will attract strict disciplinary and legal consequences.
