ACHIEVEMENT RECORDS OF THE IMMEDIATE PAST RECTOR Prof. Godwin Onu.

On assumption of office as Rector of the Polytechnic on the 5th day of March, 2010 amidst multifarious challenges bedevilling the institution, the professor Godwin Onu
led administration inherited what could be described as a dilapidated institution in terms of discipline, infrastructure, staff and
students’ welfare. However, within 3-7 years of stewardship, the Polytechnic has taken very giant strides in terms of academic reinvention and programme
development, capacity building, welfare, discipline, information and communication transformation, security, health care delivery, etc especially in the areas of the road construction building, landscaping and
beautification, water supply projects and these projects run simultaneously at the three campuses of the institution.
Within the period under review FEDPOLYOKO have
been able to build an institution where students experience less stress and rigors in getting registered after admission, payment of various fees, getting accommodation, securing adequate attention of their
supervisors, applying for review of scripts in the event of doubts,
graduating within given time frame, etc. Under the watch of Prof. Godwin Onu, Fedpolyoko have built an institution equipped for competition in a globalized world, with complete information and communication technology facilities and access to knowledge base of the world; with E-education management techniques and E-learning facilities. Fedpolyoko under the watch of Prof Onu became An institution with good, strong, firm and fair leadership equipped to tackle the challenges of
discipline, cultism, capacity building, knowledge and wealth creation; transparency and re-orientation that have to a large extent changed the mindset of
parent/guardians to de-emphasizing University education in preference to technical, vocational and entrepreneurial
education. Today, Federal Polytechnic Oko ranks very high amongst the most preferred
institutions by candidates for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The administration of Onu was very successful because of the level of discipline, courage, dedication,diligence and commitment exhibited by members of the Management
Team and in a special manner, the Rector's humble drive and commitment to prudence
in financial management reflected in usage of internally generated revenue, capital allocation, interventionist grants and out
sourcing from philanthropists has been able to accomplish all the projects and programmes chronicled in this document
which is making us and the institution very proud.
