Governor Soludo congratulated the students for choosing to study at the state polytechnic, which he described as skilled based institution, warning them to shun truancy and study hard to become employers of labour.

He urged the staff of the polytechnic to continue to support his administration and eschew bitterness and rancour, and work with unity of purpose among themselves.
