THE outgoing Rector of the Federal Poly­technic, Ile Oluji, Ondo State, Prof. Emmanuel Fasa­kin, says that Nigeria cannot develop without polytechnic education.

Fasakin said that if poly­technic education was scrapped, the country would be doomed, pointing out that the bedrock of industrialisa­tion was polytechnic educa­tion. The outgoing rector, who spoke in Akure at the launching of his memoir to mark the end of a success­ful two-term tenure as the pioneer rector of the poly­technic, explained that it was polytechnic education that would produce manpower needed in factories.

The book is entitled: “Be­yond the Ordinary: The Jour­ney of My Life and Experi­ence at Federal Polytechnic, Ile Oluji.”

Fasakin said that Nigeria should not rely on manpow­er from outside the country for its industries to survive.

According to him, abolish­ing polytechnic education is tantamount to suicide.

He, therefore, asked the Nigerian government to provide conducive and en­abling environment for Nigerian citizens to work and thrive in their respec­tive academic endeavours.

Fasakin noted that Nige­rian scholars were leaving the shores of the country to where their potential would be harnessed and well remunerated.

On his memoir, he said that he documented the book to tell his life story so that people that wanted to be transformational leaders and pioneers of institutions could know challenges and proffer solutions to them.
