MAPOLY 12th Governing Council Holds Inaugural Meeting, Appreciates Governor Dapo Abiodun for the Trust




The newly reconstituted 14-member Governing Council of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, chaired by Emeritus Prof. Kamaldeen Balogun, held its inaugural meeting on Thursday, 13th November, 2025, with a commitment to build on its impressive achievements.

The 12th Governing Council was reconstituted by His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, in recognition of the progress and development the 46-year-old Polytechnic continues to record. The reconstitution reflects the confidence and trust the Governor has in the Council’s ability to further advance the institution.

While acknowledging and appreciating the returning members of the 11th Governing Council for their selfless and commendable service, the Chairman, Emeritus Prof. Kamaldeen Balogun, urged members to uphold the trust reposed in them by His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON.

In his words, “We are here based on trust. I had initially withdrawn my interest to return, but the Governor insisted on retaining the ‘winning team’.”

He further highlighted some of the challenges inherited during the previous Council’s tenure, including backlogs of unpaid salaries,  dilapidated infrastructure, a demotivated workforce and systemic decline, among others.

According to him, “Challenges make life interesting, and when you surmount them, life becomes meaningful to you and others. This is exactly what we are witnessing today.”

He also explained that one of the notable achievements of the 11th Council was the adoption of timely salary payments, ensuring that salaries were paid before the 29th of every month, a practice that remains in place to date.

Additionally, he emphasized the procurement of medical screening equipment and materials for the Rabiatu Soaga Health Centre, which has since been fully deployed and has become a viable source of IGR for the Polytechnic.

Speaking further, “At the end of the day, we had cause to glorify God by successfully organizing our first-ever combined convocation, accumulated over eight sessions - from nothing to something.”

The Chairman urged members of the 12th Council to maintain the momentum in implementing transformative ideas and strategies, thereby sustaining and surpassing the legacy and achievements of the 11th Governing Council.

A devious plot orchestrated by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and disgraced ex-Representative Muhammad Shehu Koko to destabilise Kebbi State has spectacularly backfired. The duo, now prominent figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), allegedly imported notorious bandits and thugs to wreak havoc in the state, only to be met with fierce resistance from enraged residents and loyal All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters. The incident, which unfolded on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, has exposed the underhanded tactics of Malami and Koko, revealing a sordid pact rooted in political desperation and criminal collusion. According to multiple sources, Malami and Koko, both recent defectors from the APC to the ADC, conspired to unleash chaos in Kebbi State to bolster their fledgling political relevance.
