The foremost and premier institution of higher education in Nigeria, Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, has instituted an annual Alumni Lecture Series, the first of its kind in the history of the College.
The administration of Dr. Kudirat Ladipo, the Rector of the institution, approved the lecture series after considerations that Yaba College of Technology has graduated over 100,000 young men and women in all fields of endeavour in Technology, who are making waves across the globe.
More so, the age of the institution has thrown up natural challenges, which the College views could be resolved if all its products are brought on board and in line with the world best practices.
It was in view of this that the College management instituted the take off of the Annual Alumni Lecture Series.
The platform, the College considered, would be an avenue to bring all its products to be part of her success story through a functional Alumni Body and sustenance of her heritage.
To this end, the College Inaugural Alumni Lecture Series holds on April 13, with the topic: “Current and Future Trend of Technical Education in Nigeria Development.”
The lecture is to be delivered by a former Rector of Lagos State Polytechnic and Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Board, Engr. Olawumi Gasper.
It will hold at the College’s Yusuf Grillo Auditorium at 10am.
The College, during the lecture, will be honouring three eminent alumni.
They are Prof. (Sir) Victor Uwaifo; Engr. John Ediale; and Second Republic President, Alhaji Aliyu Usman Shehu Shagari.
