The Federal Polytechnic Offa has received a grant of $250,000 to upgrade facilities in the Polytechnic’s Instrumentation Laboratories.
Disclosing this to members of the Academic Board recently, the Project Manager of the polytechnic's Step-B Project, Dr. Anthony Okonta commended the management of the polytechnic for the commitment and determination to ensure that the grant was eventually received.
Okonta, who formally presented the letter of grant to the Rector, Dr. Mufutau Olatinwo, also linked the success of the committee to the hard work of the committee members.
Olatinwo expressed gratitude to the committee for the commitment to duty and sacrifice and hoped other grants will soon be coming the way of the polytechnic.
