<p>The
Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY,  ;Abeokuta, Ogun State  ;has
matriculated no fewer than 1, 500 students admitted for both full-time and
part- time programmes of the institution.</p>



<p>The
Rector of the institution,  ;Dr Samson Adeola  ;Odedina  ;made this
known  ;on Thursday during the 2018/ 2019 Matriculation Oath taking
ceremony at the OGD hall, in the school.</p>



<p>He
stressed that Moshood Abiola Polytechnic is a reference point in the
entrepreneurial, scientific and technological education,  ;adding that its  ;graduates are proven Job creators and role
models as dependable employees.</p>



<p>While
addressing  ;newsmen,  ;the Rector
urged the students to be committed, focused and disciplined so as to graduate
in flying colours.</p>



<p>&#8221;As
fresh students, let me urge you to mind who you associate with, refuse any unsolicited
assistance from any  ;quarter, run away
from anything that is capable of dragging the name of the institution and your
families to the mud. Invest your energy in positive and productive works that
will write your name in gold&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;Let
me remind you that your primary aim on this campus is to obtain degree which
will help you achieve your dreams&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;It is
pertinent you know that the management of the Polytechnic is not be disposed to
 ;anti- social behaviours, examination
misconducts, indecent dressings , secret associations which you have sworn against
today&#8221;</p>



<p>Dr
Odedina appreciated the governor of Ogun State,  ;Prince Dapo Abiodun for
his  ;support and for restoring peace and full academic activities to the school
which has made the event of today possible.</p>



<p>&#8221;Our
prestigious institution is well known all over as a center of excellence going
by the landmarks achieved by your graduates in all spheres, Academic, Industry
and in private practice of communication, banking, engineering and others&#8221; Our
relationship with Industries has always given our students the needed
experience for development&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;To
parents I want to congratulate you for the gift of life extended to you by God
to witness this ceremony in the lives of these young ones. I pray you will
enjoy the fruit of your labour and sacrifices over them&#8221;</p>



<p>Meanwhile, the Ogun State  ;government has employed 20 unemployed graduates
into the public service of the state</p>



<p>The
 ;beneficiaries were selected based on their performances from the aptitude
test conducted at the venue.</p>



<p>The
State governor, prince Dapo Abiodun  ;while speaking during the launch of
the Job portal at the Cultural Center, Abeokuta,  ;promised that the job portal will register on
a continuous basis in the State. ;</p>



<p>&#8221;The
official launching of the Ogun Job Portal, today, is another milestone in the
successful implementation of our Administrations Building our Future Together
Agenda. Let me state that this job portal will register, on a continuous basis,
employed and unemployed youths in the State with a view to providing them jobs
and training opportunities suitable for their trade and academic
qualifications. For those who care, a country with 23.1 percent unemployment
rate or 20.93 million young people out of job is sitting on a keg of
gunpowder&#8221; ;</p>



<p>&#8221;To
underscore the severity of this challenge, you all will recall how many of our
young people died looking for Immigration jobs in 2014. Also recently, when the
Customs Service called for employment, 525,215 applicants applied online for
the less that 2,000 vacant positions&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;We
cannot sit and watch this situation degenerate any further hence this is a way
of thinking out of the box. Not all of us will do White Collar jobs and not all
White Collar jobs increase GDP&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;This
Portal will, therefore, provide a platform for readily available and updated
information of our graduates and those with vocational skills across the State
with the aim of matching them with potential employers, training opportunities,
not only within the Public Service but also with the Private Sector, as our
partners&#8221;</p>



<p>I
want to assure the citizens and residents of the State  ;that  ;they
will not be  ;short-changed. We are preparing a Local Content Bill which
will be sent to Ogun State House of Assembly. When this Bill is passed into
Law, it will make investors to first look inward to availability of workers in
Ogun State and make our youths their primary catchment area when they site
their companies in Ogun State&#8221; ;</p>



<p>The
governor also noted that the state government will  ;provide  ;a
database to allocate the Ogun State youths to the appropriate sectors where
they will be most productive for themselves and the State. ;</p>



<p>&#8221;More
significantly and it is my belief that the interface with active industry
players would positively shape economic growth by enhancing the capacity of
small and growing business&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;My
administration is committed to  ;provide  ;a viable platform that gives
optimal job opportunities. Our belief is that a gainfully employed citizenry
will also contribute in no small measure to the socio-economic development of
our dear State. ;</p>



<p>&#8221;We
 ;are also  ;working assiduously towards restructuring and reorganizing
all sectors of our dear States economy for more opportunities to our people by
consciously nurturing their potentials&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;We
are also putting a measure in place to prepare and situate our people to fit
adequately into all sectors of our dear States economy where we all can
individually and collectively aspire for uncommon prosperity&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;Permit
me to also emphasize that our dear State is now an investors destination of
choice. We now have more industries in our dear State. We should take the
advantage to have more of our people employed, employable and as net employers
of labour&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;The
fact is that, as more industries continue to berth in our dear State, there
will be improvement in our trade and commerce, food security, poverty
alleviation, and more employment opportunities for our people&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8221;We
are providing a database to allocate our people to the appropriate sectors
where they will be most productive for themselves and the State. More
significantly and it is my belief that the interface with active industry
players would positively shape economic growth by enhancing the capacity of
small and growing business&#8221;</p>



<p>One
of the beneficiaries,  ;who is a serving corps member, identified as a
Olalekan Olayode Segun expressed joy, saying that he never knew he could get
this opportunity.</p>



<p>&#8221;I
feel being on top of the world, because am so lucky to be one of the
beneficiaries, I was not expecting this, in fact I am so happy, the Ogun State
governor has done well, despite the fact am not an Ogun State indigene I still
get opportunity here&#8221;</p>
