Yeketi noted that 95 per cent of the equipment have been delivered to the institution and that the remaining ones will be delivered in few days time.


He added that with the arrival of equipment, the Centre is ready to take off.

The Chairman of IVTEC Board, Prof. Abiodun Adimula, while fielding questions from journalists said he was satisfied with the quality of equipment purchased for the institution.

He expressed confidence that academic activities will commence at IVTEC in September.

Adimula stated that in the next few years, the College is expected to produce highly skilled middle-level manpower and commended the State government for its huge investment in the College.

According to him, the vocational center will help reduce crime rate in the State as the government has provided opportunity for youths to develop themselves and acquire market relevant skills that will make them productive.

He also disclosed that the College management was working toward creating synergy with tertiary institutions in Kwara such as the University of Ilorin, Kwara State University, Kwara Polytechnic and technical schools within the State

Adimula said that IVTEC will also be a good training ground for students of tertiary institutions to undergo their SIWES programme and acquire relevant skills.

He noted that most universities in the country cannot boast of the facilities available at IVTEC.
