The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has renewed the appointment of Professor Salisu Ogbo Usman for second term as Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja.
The re-appointment was contained in a letter approved by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo today in Lokoja.
“The re-apportionment was due to his superlative performance as Rector of the institution over the last four years” the letter noted.
The Rector thanked Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for acknowledging his modest contributions to the growth of the institution.
He also appreciated the immediate past Governor, Alhaji 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 this far.
He vowed to put in much more efforts in his second term to strengthen the positive development of the institution.
It would be recalled that since coming on board as Rector of the Polytechnic, Professor Usman has radically transformed the institution as reflected in massive infrastructure improvement, security of lives and property, full accreditation of programmes stagnated for years, administrative reforms, restoration of discipline, general quality assurance, amongst others.
