We are here today representing the 25,000 plus students of this great citadel of learning and excellence to say that- Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the Governor of Lagos State should continue with his good works, consolidate in another four years and make education in Lagos State the hallmark of excellence in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">\u201cWe are not reaching these conclusions without proofs of what the amiable Governor has done in the education sector, especially at the Lagos State Polytechnic. The Governor has proved beyond reasonable doubts, its concern for the sustenance of qualitative educational system in Lagos State.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">&#8220;The citadel of knowledge has benefited immensely from Ambode\u2019s administration; part of which according to him include: \u201cinitiation of the first ever academic and value added practical training programme \u201cReady-Set-Work\u201d (RSW) for Tertiary Institutions in Lagos, preparing students for the work life, placing successful participants on Industrial Training with reputable organizations and also funding viable business ideas\/innovations of the students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">\u201cConsideration of the plea by the Polytechnic Management on financial constraint of the Polytechnic, His Excellency approved the increment of the Polytechnic\u2019s monthly subvention and also approved the release of funds for the accreditation of 66 programmes in the Polytechnic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">\u201cFurthermore, the Governor completed the construction of Block A of the School of Technology Complex and also approved the construction of drainages as well as car parks for the Complex all of which are on-going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">In the same vein, the Vice-President of the Union, Comrade Oladipupo Zainab, solicited for the support of the entire residents in Lagos State so as to encourage the continuous accelerated progress experienced in the educational system and other sectors by voting massively for Governor Akinwunmi Ambode come 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">Residents, especially the youths and students, were implored to register and pick up their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) as this remains the only way all can ensure support for education and youth development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8719705964m_-705248310944022575m_5134103943459626621gmail-yiv6550659151ydpc8b5607fmsonormal\">\u201cFor us, DiCE as an initiative would not only canvass for votes, but monitor and sensitise the student populace on the need to register and collect their PVCs. A vote canvasses without a PVC is a sheer wasting of time and resources. Therefore, we shall sensitise for registration and collection of PVC andconsolidate with canvass for votes through DiCE initiative. What LASPOTECH SUG is doing to support the reelection of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode goes beyond rhetoric and showmanship. It is a complete practical approach to winning election,\u201d Zainab noted.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Folake Sokoya The Lagos State Polytechnic Students\u2019 Union Government [LASPOSUG] has launched an initiative tagged \u2018Direct Campaign &amp; Enlightenment [DiCE]\u2019 for Governor Akinwunmi Ambode&#8217;s reelection.
