The Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, has renewed the appointment of Prof. Salisu Usman for a second term as Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja.
A statement issued on Monday by the Director of Public Relations and Protocol of the institution, Olale Uredo, stated that the governor noted that his re-appointment was due to the sterling performance of Ogbo during the first term
The rector appreciated the governor for acknowledging his modest contributions to the growth of the institution.
Usman also appreciated the immediate past Governor, Yahaya Bello, for bringing him on board as acting rector, after which the appointment was confirmed in 2021.
The rector also thanked the Governing Council, Academic Board, Management, staff and students of the institution for the invaluable support that assisted in the transformation of the polytechnic thus far.
He said, “I will put in much more effort in this second term to strengthen the positive visibility of the institution.”
It would be recalled that since coming on board as rector of the polytechnic, Usman has radically transformed the institution as reflected in massive infrastructure improvement, security of lives and properties, full accreditation of programmes stagnated for years, administrative reforms, restoration of discipline, general quality assurance, amongst others.
