We have been able to develop a course directory for students, which will guard them on the path of their academic pursue and we also took a step further to develop practical manual being a medical polytechnic and this is very unique.
We also introduced customized exercise books which we believe we further improve the image of the school.
In addition to that, we have improved our curriculum which has gone a long way to boost the performances of students on campuses, CBE was introduced, a (Computer Based Exam) for hundred level student, we have ICT Centre, E-Library for conducting Jamb, approval has been sought towards that direction and we are also working on WASCE & NECO so that student will be able to write such exams on our campuses.
We have equally purchased a 16KVA Generator to ensure constant power supply on campuses and make the environment more conducive for learning.
We have reconstructed the main entrance to the Institution, procure tractor for regulars clearing of the campus and equally purchase brand new bus to boost the medical image of the polytechnic.
Efforts are ongoing to construct additional Lecture Hall on campus and further provide basic social infrastructure that will enable students to concentrate on their academic pursuit.
In distance future road networks within the campus will be constructed as we have been able to secure support from some government agencies (Ecological Fund) because whenever it rains we experienced flooding on campus.
We will continue to strive towards providing the enabling environment on campus with a future prospect of upscaling the institution to a University of Education by God's grace.
