In another development, the Management of the Polytechnic is perfecting online arrangements for the interested students to apply for hostel accommodation through the Polytechnic portal after payment of school fees and approved accommodation rates.
According to the Dean, Students' Services, the allocation of the hostel space will be on the basis of "first come, first served" because of the limited available space.
Recall that the current Polytechnic Management under the Rector, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman, recently carried out comprehensive renovation of the students hostel through Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, and with the kind approval and active support of the State Government. The past attempt at the hostel renovation stalled in 2017 .
Management is therefore glad and full of excitement to welcome students back to the campus halls of residence after over five (5) years.
While congratulating students and appreciating them for their patience and resilience, Management also implores them to make proper use of the hostel facilities to last for the generations of students coming after them.
