“The story of this auditorium will be incomplete and grossly inadequate without the mention of the special interest, passion, commitment and strong political will of His Excellency who defied all odds to break the jinx and ensured that the project is completed and ready for use through constant and up-to-date release of funds to the contractor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We also owe our gratitude to the contractor, Alhaji Abdulraheem Oladimeji the Jagunmolu of Igbomina land, for his patience in the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rector Kwara State Polytechnic Dr Abdul Jimoh said the auditorium would solve some of the infrastructural challenges facing the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The auditorium will go a long way in solving some of our challenges. For instance, we used to hold our matriculation and convocation ceremonies in an open field which is not befitting enough. With this auditorium, we will able to confidently hold our matriculation and convocation ceremonies and some other important functions in the institution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The structure was conceived during the Late Rear Admiral Muhammad Alabi Lawal administration on September 7, 2001 but suffered lack of funding from previous governments. We thank God that the people’s governor Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq intervened and the result is what we’re seeing today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oladimeji, for his part, commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his intervention which made him to complete the project nearly 20 years after laying the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Governor, meanwhile, also pledged to look into the challenges confronting the students in the school such as the light up project and the dam of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a brief meeting with the students\u2019 union government executives of the school, the Governor called on the students to continue to be of good character and said the administration will always support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obafemi Isaac, the president of the SUG, commended the Governor for his pro-people programmes such as his recent waiver for students who were yet to pay their tuition in the school to sit their examinations while they pay up later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
