Massive Infrastructure Drive Under Rector Dr. Christopher Okoro Kalu Signals New Era for Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic

The vision to decentralize and modernize the Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic (formerly Abia State Polytechnic) is nearing reality, as reports confirm that the Osisioma Campus is set to officially commence academic activities within the 2026 calendar year.

A recent site inspection revealed a surge in construction activity, turning the premises into a high-intensity developmental hub. Key projects currently underway include:

Stakeholders have attributed this rapid transformation to the strategic appointment of Engr. Dr. Christopher Okoro Kalu as Rector. Dr. Kalu, a seasoned academician, holds a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a specialization in Advanced Control Systems.

A former Associate Professor, his tenure has been marked by a "track record in teaching and research" and a proactive approach to rebuilding the institution’s physical and academic standing.

The expansion to the Osisioma campus is being hailed as a milestone for the administration of Governor Alex Otti. By leveraging his professional network and academic background, Dr. Kalu has focused on elevating the polytechnic to an "enviable height," ensuring that both infrastructure and mentorship remain top priorities.

"The whole premises now look lively as everywhere turns to a construction site," observers noted, promising that the completion of these projects will provide a much-needed boost to student welfare and regional access to technical education.
