The Rector explained that the provision of the required facilities through TETFund intervention has made it possible for the polytechnic to complete self-study questionnaires for 11 National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes as required by the national Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for resource inspection visitation.

He expressed profound gratitude to TETFund for its support and expressed happiness that the visit of the Executive Secretary of the Fund to the polytechnic would enable him to witness and confirm the various projects have been executed by the institution.

Also speaking during the ceremony, the Chairperson of the Governing Council of the polytechnic, Hajia Aisha Yelwa while thanking the TETFund boss for the visit, described the commissioning ceremony as a milestone in the history of the polytechnic as it was the first time a Chief Executive of TETFund would visit the institution.

She stated that the role of TETFund in providing critical infrastructure and equipment for teaching and learning cannot be overemphasized as it remains the most reliable means of getting facilities that enable tertiary institutions to compete favourably with their counterparts across the globe.

Hajia Yelwa noted that the projects lined up for commissioning is an assurance of the readiness of the polytechnic to compete favourably with other tertiary institutions in the country in terms of infrastructure, notwithstanding that it was established less than a decade ago.

In his remarks, Abdullahi Bichi Baffa, Executive Secretary of TETFund, expressed happiness at the extent of growth the polytechnic has witnessed since its establishment.

He commended the management of the polytechnic for its foresight in providing not only the needed infrastructure and equipment for programmes already being offered by the institutions but those that are being anticipated, saying that planning ahead is extremely crucial to the educational sector and the nation in general.

Baffa who noted the impending population growth of Nigeria as being forecasted, said that the present government is serious about planning for the needed developmental indices that will help take care of the well-being of the citizens.

The TETFund boss lauded the institution for the focus on agricultural technology, pointing that it is part of the effort of the present administration to diversify the Nigerian economy as well as provide jobs for its teeming population through large scale farming backed with modern technology.

TETFund team for the commissioning exercise led by the Executive Secretary included the Director Monitoring and Evaluation, Mal. Umar Mari, Head of Legal Unit, Barrsiter Adamu Abubakar, Ag. Head of Project Management Department, Mal. Buhari Mikailu and others.
