The Ogun State Institute of Technolgy, Igbesa (OGITECH) on Wednesday matriculated over 2000 students who were offered provisional admission into various departments of the Institute for the 2019/ 2020 academic session.
Addressing the students during the 14th matriculation ceremony held at the Prince Dapo Abiodun Twin lecture theatre, the Rector of the Institute, Engr. Olufunke Akinkurole charged the fresh students to articulate their desired future by setting goals and be determined to work round the clock to achieve their set targets.
According to the Rector, Today, we are officially absorbing another set of great minds for both the National Diploma and Higher National Diploma programmes into our Institute - a fresh opportunity to make many more students, the pride of our Nation".
"We are able to enroll, teach, nurture and turn out exceptional products year in, year out because of the cooperation, support, mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence the Institute has enjoyed with the host community. We appreciate the warm hands with which Igbesa continues to host us, and pray that the community witnesses more development and growth, in leaps and bounds"
I welcome you, our dear Freshmen to Ogun State Institute of Technology. Your efforts through your elementary schools saw you scaled the hurdles of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), and pushed you to the point of successfully completing your admission processes as stipulated by the regulatory bodies such as the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Today’s ceremony marks a great point in your life’s journey.
I can assure all our students that the curriculum, academic calendar, different activities by the Institute, have been so professionally and meticulously drawn to ensure you become the OGITECH product that will be seen as the NATION’s pride. We have dedicated and committed Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff, all ready to offer the support our students need to achieve lofty heights".
"The unwavering commitment of the Management and efforts geared at seeing more programmes accredited are yielding results. As at today, the Institute has 28 programmes both for National Diploma and Higher National Diploma degrees, duly accredited by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). A proposal for the accreditation of 6 new programmes and carrying capacity of existing programmes is also at an encouraging point in the process"
"The Institute is also recognized by professional bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), and many more" she stated.
In her goodwill message, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education , Science and Technology, Mrs. Abosede Ogunleye admonished the students to be of good conduct and be proud ambassadors of their various homes and shun acts capable of destroying their reputations.
