*AUCHI POLYTECHNIC AS THE BEST IN NIGERIA IS AN ACHIEVEMENT OF A VISIONARY LEADER.*
Few years ago before the inception of the digital and the amazon Rector (Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah) as the head of the management team of Federal Polytechnic Auchi, the institution was in a state of total neglect and lack of transparency.
Before he came on board as the rector of this great institution many students and parents were already looking for alternative institution instead of choosing Auchi Polytechnic as their choice of institution because of high records of negativity in the Polytechnic ranging from one crime to another. Dr. SM Jimah came at the right time as a messiah to rescue, restore and re-position the Polytechnic in her rightful place for both local and international recognition.
Auchi Polytechnic was known for both practical and theoretical leader among all other polytechnics and universities in the country but due to negligence, lack of transparency, corruption, lack of vision and greed by the previous administration combined together made the polytechnic to lost her glory and fell into utter failure where the polytechnic was nicknamed as a den of cultist, blocking, female sexual harassment by lecturers, projects structural failures, lack of machines, embezzlement, corruption, protest, unqualified lecturers, lack of better welfare for both staffs and students of the polytechnic, but today the polytechnic has recovered all the former loses and glory it has regained back it's first position in the latest 2019 ranking of best polytechnic in Nigeria by webometric a body that has been very consistent, accurate and very reliable when it comes to university and polytechnic rankings around the world.
According to webometric four factors were used to determined the ranking of the 2019 best Polytechnic which includes:
1. Openness rank
2. Impact rank
3. Presence rank
4. Excellence rank
All these happened to be Auchi Polytechnic pass marks to get to the first position and according to them Auchi Polytechnic coming first implies that the quality of published research works from the school is very high when compare to other Polytechnics i.e. the school research output and informal scholarly communication is very high since the inception of Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah as the rector.
I'm not surprised that webometric settled for Auchi Polytechnic as the best because since the new management team came on board under the rectorship of Dr. SM Jimah the polytechnic has been receiving one form of positive transformation to another, the rector has been working day and night to position the polytechnic in a better place before the local and the international communities, before now the polytechnic was known for massive blocking (awarding of marks for money) by dubious lecturers which was a trend and an acceptable culture in the polytechnic before Dr. SM Jimah fought tirelessly to bring that negative perception to an end by sacking all the bad eggs through investigation, questionnaires, survey and other professional method of fishing out all the bad lecturers that have been living largely above their monthly earnings.
Today the rector has achieved a zero percent presence of blocking, corruption, sexual harassment and 100% success in the fight against blocking and other forms of corrupt practices in the system because the fear of the war against blocking is now the beginning of wisdom as any culprit when caught with concrete evidence will leave the school with his or her tale in between legs without any opportunity for them to buy their ways out as it was practiced before.
If you are currently looking for the best and the most well planned building structures in Nigerian higher institutions you need to visit Auchi Polytechnic where we have the best structures which is in accordance with Nigeria Institute of Building and British Standard method of construction from standard classrooms, administrative blocks, hall, auditorium, car parks, to standard sporting complex. The better welfare of the Polytechnic students has been the major priority of the current rector starting from his days as an acting rector where he mandated the necessary authorities to fumigate the whole school against deadly micro organisms and germs within and outside the school hostels to prevent deadly diseases and even reptiles from coming closer to the students, because of his love for them he has undertaken some very massive projects in the polytechnic such as the new massive building in school of applied science for a comfortable learning environment, Installations of borehole around the school of ICT for portable water, proper research & Innovation, renovation of school hostels (with iron doors in all d hostels, perfect bulk beds, re-roofing of the building and recruitment of professional men in the security unit for better security of lifes and properties), the ongoing building in area 3 (school of environmental studies), 24 hours electricity power supply with the aid of modern and eco friendly electricity generating sets, manufacturing of prototype cars, machines and equipment by mechanical and electrical students of the polytechnic under Dr. SM Jimah, there is high security level in the polytechnic, remodeling of the polytechnic guest house into international accepted standard and easy access to results by the students through the digitalization of the whole system.
Currently the polytechnic is very transparent and accountability is now the order of the day there is no more room for any form of corruption, financial misappropriation, cultism activities has been reduced to minimal, blocking has been eradicated, infrastructural deficiency, unqualified lecturers and other forms of violence but the polytechnic is now one of the best in the areas of research, practical teaching, professional teachings, new skills acquisition through the help of CEDAP Village, proper utilization of IGR, proper supervision of projects, due process in procurement, staffs and students welfare etc. The current rector Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah is a professional planner and as such we do not need to be surprised in the way he is turning the face of the institution around positively in the area of massive construction of projects with awesome and strategic planning management and the renaming of the various learning centers from campus 1,2 & 3 to area 1,2 & 3 in a very short period of time.
I want to use this opportunity to thank and congratulate Dr. Tpl Sanusi Momodu Jimah for his great achievements in a very short space of time and to also congratulate the staffs and the students of the polytechnic for a God gift leader given to them by God, there is no more delay in examination writing, semester preparation and others because the Bible says when the righteous rule the people will rejoice. I want to also congratulate the good people of Auchi, the Otaru Palace and other host communities for the good news we are hearing as they shall also be benefiting from the vision of this great son of the soil who is removing the thick black pigment paint that the enemies of the polytechnic have used in painting the community as a bad place for people not to come and invest due to the bad leadership the polytechnic was having before which has made many good investors not to visit the area but I assure you right now that with this new ranking of the polytechnic as the best in Nigeria the rector has just used his wisdom to attract meaningful investors into the community and I know that very soon the people will rejoice.


God Bless Edo State
