By Correspondent in Ilorin.

The Rector,Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Dr Abdul Jimoh -Muhammed,has appealed to the state government to urgently step in by stopping people from encroaching into the lands belonging to institution lands “to save it from extinction”.

The Rector made the appeal on Tuesday in Ilorin while addressing Newsmen on the 27th combined convocation ceremony of the institution slated for Wednesday.

According to him, most of the encroachers had erected buildings very close to students’ lecture theatres, adding that the staff recreation facilities were now being used by the illegal occupants to dry their farm produce.

Jimoh-Muhammed also urged the state government to ensure the activities of the illegal occupants of the polytechnic land are stopped to avert imminent danger within the institutions community.

He said the institution, in collaboration with security agencies and local vigilante, had put in place adequate security measures to ensure security of staff and students.

” The Management has been able to maintain peace over the years with the assistance of security agencies such as the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Vigilante etc. However, huge sum of fund is required to maintain this relative peace,”he said.

He also highlighted some of the achievements recorded in two years of his administration to include staff welfare, Kwarapoly Microfinance bank, renovation of hostels, resuscitation of IJMB, acquisition of radio licence, sustenance of peaceful co-existence on the campus among others.

Others,he added are: provision of office furniture, renovation of staff quarters, water supply, installation of solar powered light, provision of WIFI for internet connectivity, bottled/sachet water project, polytechnic bakery/block industry, construction of horticultural garden/ renovation of roads.

The rector noted that despite the achievements,the polytechnic had been confronted with some other challenges including funding, campus roads and drainage, ageing structures, accreditation of programmes.
