<p>The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Architect
Olusegun Aluko has disclosed that Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote
Group of companies, has approved a sum of two hundred and twenty million naira
for the institution to acquire equipment for the new course, Cement Technology
which begins soon in the institution.</p>



<p>Aluko explained on Monday that the 40-year-old
institution has created an agricultural village with the view of adding meaning
to the agricultural sector.</p>



<p>He stated that as soon as the equipment arrive, the
course will commence immediately.</p>



<p>Dangote  ; ; has
expressed commitment to supporting the federal government agenda to diversify
the country&#8217;s economy from mere petroleum into agriculture in order to address unemployment
scourge.</p>



<p>He said, a cement group, headed by Dangote sponsored the curriculum
for the Cement Technology. He has approved equipment worth N 220 million for
the Polytechnic. So, we are waiting for the equipment to commence the programme.</p>



<p> ;&#8221;We have collaboration
with Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, MAN and through the body, we recently
exhibited some of the equipment that we have already invented. We have supplied
many companies some of our equipment and some other companies are still
ordering for more&#8221;</p>



<p>Aluko submitted that the institution is waiting for the Minister
of Science and Technology to give approval to lunch the inventions
officially. ;</p>



<p>According to him, the institution has fabricated palm oil producing line and electric mail box. He said that all the inventions have shown that  ; his team is working diligently for the polytechnic &#8221;In our primary mandate of research and development, the Polytechnic has not been lagging behind.</p>



<p>&#8221;We know the problem of unemployment in Nigeria. So, we ensure  ; ;we add value to all of our products for ;  ;effectiveness in the labour  ;market.  ;&#8221;We are the only school in Nigeria that has a driving
school. This is ;because we notice that there are some jobs that require
driving skills.</p>



<p>For instance, if you are a journalist and your editor
wants you to cover an event and he gives you a vehicle, he will not give you a
driver. So you must know how to drive and that is why we have introduced driving
as a course&#8221;</p>
