There is no doubt that the Federal Polytechnic, Ayede, in Oyo State has carved a niche for itself in its first few years of existence, as an institution established to truly boost the technological and innovative capacity of Nigerian Youths.
The Polytechnic, now fondly called – A Hub for Innovators, has rolled out several products and equipment, designed, innovated and fabricated by its students, strengthening and preparing them to become entrepreneurs, self reliant and, eventual employers of labour.
But, perhaps, the most remarkable feat of the young Federal Polytechnic, Ayede, is the incredible infrastructural growth – beautifying and adorning the landscape of its permanent site to the admiration of all visitors to the campus, including the Monarch of Ogbomosoland, the Soun, Ọba Ghandi Afọlábí Oladunni Ọláoyè, Orumógege III,

The beautiful edifices dotting the campus testifies to the highly commendable, hones transparent and efficient resource management by the Rector, Dr. Taofeek Adekunle Abdul-Hameed, the Pioneer head of the institution and his management team.
”Ayede Polytechnic is a good justification of the existence of the Tertiary Education Fund, (TETFUND), especially under the Tinubu Administration,” a senior staff of the institution told FLOWERBUDNEWS in an interview.
TETFUND patronage to Ayede Poly has become a source of pride, as the institution has judiciously utilised available resources, especially, under the Tinubu administration’s commitment to enhanced funding of technical institutions.
In a recent remark,the Rector , Dr. AbdulHameed expressed profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Executive Secretary (ES) of TETFUND, for the support to the institution which, through prudent management, had made his Polytechnic become a cynosure among its peers.
Below are more impressions of the infrastructural transformation going on at the Polytechnic, generating respect, adoration and pride among its students, staff and people of Ogbomosoland.
