The Federal Polytechnic in Ado Ekiti has welcomed students newly admitted into the Institution for both the Ordinary National Diploma (OND) and the Higher National Diploma (HND).
The Institution on Tuesday morning organised a training programme to sensitise the students on the need for them to be acquainted with the necessary academic procedures and guiding principles that will assist them during the course of their studies on the Institution.
Equally, the Rector of the Institution, Dr. Dayo Oladebeye used the opportunity of the training/sensitisation programme to advise and warn the students against involving themselves or participating in acts that may cut short their stay on the campus.

Oladebeye urged the new students to abide by the rules and regulations of the Institution and surround themselves with positive-minded and responsible people who would influence and motivate their lives for better. “During your stay on this campus, see yourselves as ambassadors of your homes and as such, conduct yourselves prestigiously, decently and with integrity”, he stated.
Continuing, Oladebeye said: “in your own interest, abide by the Institution’s rules and regulations, be focused and pursue the primary aim of your mission in this citadel of learning with all seriousness and vigour”.
