He commended the Abia State Government, led by Dr Alex Otti for its sustained investment in infrastructural development at the Polytechnic, noting that the Osisioma Campus, which has been in existence since 1994, is currently undergoing unprecedented transformation.

Prof. Okoro equally appreciated the Honourable Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Prof Uche Eme Uche for her continued support for the institution.

According to the Rector, the scale of development reflects purposeful leadership and a genuine commitment to educational advancement.

“The Osisioma Campus will commence full academic activities in 2026. It takes an intentional leader who believes in education to bring this long-standing vision to fruition,” he said.
