Life in LASPOTECH

 

At the inception of the Institution, the first five Academic Departments were run in a manner that did not permit effective co-ordination of related disciplines, and with the increase in the number of programmes, it became imperative to reorganize the various programmes. As a result of this, in April 1982, all the academic departments which had risen to 29 were grouped into five Schools, each under a Director.

The Polytechnic has over 30,000 students running different programmes. LASPOTECH has earned a reputation as one of the foremost Polytechnics in Africa in the fields of Management, Agriculture, Engineering, Environmental Studies and Technology. This is seen in the placement of our diplomats in various organizations, government ministries and parastatals.

All the schools and departments are active in research and in teaching, both of which are subject to external assessment. The Quality Control body for the monitoring of Polytechnic Education, the National Board For Technical Education (NBTE), has mechanisms for monitoring teaching, learning as well as research.

The School Library

LASPOTECH Libraries are made up of the main Library at Ikorodu and two branch Libraries in our satellite campuses at Isolo and Surulere.

The classification of the resources of the Library is by the Library of Congress (LC). Our resources include books, journals, CD, VCD, DVD, e-books and other valuable resources. The computerization of the library has been completed using the X-LIB software which is a Nigerian Initiative.

There is one-unit compulsory first semester course for all ND I Students; Library Users Education, which is taught and evaluated by academic staff of the Library. Its objective is to introduce students to effective use of the library.

The V-Sat has recently been installed in the Library to enhance access to global academic resources available on the net. The library has created an ICT unit that assist lecturers and students to access various academic data base and resources on the Internet.

The library opening hours are as follows:

Monday – Friday: 8.00am – 8.00pm
Saturday: 9.00am – 6.00pm
Sunday: 12.00pm – 6.00pm

2014…NECO RECORDS BEST RESULTS IN SIX YEARS

52% pass June/July SSCE at credit level

Over 69 per cent make English, Mathematics

After six years of dismal performance by its candidates, the National Examinations Council (NECO) Wednesday announced that 52.29 percent of persons who sat for this year’s June/July Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) passed at credit level in five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

Announcing the result yesterday in Minna, Niger State, the NECO Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Promise Okpala, said that 74.30 percent of the candidates made five credits and above generally.

According to him, of the 989,622 persons who registered for the examinations, only 978,886 candidates eventually wrote the examination, which covers about 76 subjects. Giving a breakdown of the result, Okpala said that 72.58 percent scored credit level and above in English Language while 69.49 percent made similar grades in Mathematics.

In sciences, 72.86 percent of candidates that sat for Chemistry had credits, 69.38 percent of Physics candidates had credit levels while Biology candidates registered 67.83 percent credit grades.

Okpala noted that beyond the cost of running the examination, insecurity in many parts of the country grossly affected the council’s logistics operations during the school-based examination.

According to him, “in spite of the challenges facing the council, I feel highly elated that the conduct of the 2014 SSCE examinations was a huge success.”

He added that the council’s efforts at reducing examination malpractices paid off, as only 0.44 percent of candidates were involved in malpractices, and “this low level of malpractice was an eloquent testimony to the painstaking efforts the council has consistently made to eradicate examination malpractice.”

Meanwhile, 16 schools were de-recognized for three years while six supervisors and one invigilator were blacklisted for their involvement in examination malpractice during the case in view.

An analysis of past results showed a steady improvement over the past three years, with NECO posting the best result in the current year.
