The National Association of Nigerian Students NANS and the National Association of Polytechnic Students NAPS, on Thursday, visited the Federal Polytechnic, Offa.
The student bodies during their joint visitation lauded the management of the institution on the numerous developments on the school complex.
They commended the management for “the newly tarred 2km road at the school permanent site; the procurement of multi million naira latest facilities and equipments to develop a 21st century studio for Mass Communication Department; renovation of lecture and office complex; stable academic calendar and the recent E-voting system adopted for the Student Union election”.
They further charged them to sustain the legacy by doing more for the benefit of the students.
According to a statement by NAPS, they said, “The depiction of high moral value by the students of the institution is enough to explain how nurtured they are by the Polytechnic, and it brings joy that as at the time when students unionism is negatively perceived as ‘rascality’, these students have negate such perception and redefine the rhetorics of students politics to an enviable and admirable state through proper and well coordinated conduct in the election.
“One of the highs recorded by the institution in the election is the adoption of the E-Voting System by the School Management for the election which brought absolute sanity to the election process.”
Also, the newly elected Students’ Union President, Comrade Adigun disclosed that the election was free, fair and peaceful. He stressed that a high percentage of students were able to exercise their franchise.
“I want to commend the management, DSA for conducting free and fair election. I also thank great fedpoffites who have reposed their trust in me and I will never jeopardize the interest of the Nigerian students. I commend the security personnel on ground for ensuring that this election was riot free.
“Unlike before where there will always be misunderstandings, but because the election is being conducted via ballot system, the advent of E-voting has made it possible for people to vote from their comfort zones and has stopped any form of crisis”, Adigun said.
