The Ogun State Government has changed the name of the College of Health Technology in Ilese-Ijebu to Ogun State Polytechnic of Health and Allied Sciences.
The state governor, Dapo Abiodun, made the announcement on Wednesday during his re-election campaign visit of Ijebu North East Local Government, promising to soon designate a permanent rector for the school.
According to Governor Abiodun, plans to reposition the college and broaden its curriculum made modernising the facility necessary.
Abiodun stressed throughout his interaction with the students that he had simply carried out what the law permitted him to do because no other candidate for governor could make such a declaration and that other candidates were full of empty claims.

The governor also promised that his administration would continue to support the development of education in the state while assuring the students that those yet to receive their bursary would get it soon.
Making the pronouncement, the governor said, “I, Prince Adedapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun State, hereby pronounce that this institution, formerly called Ogun State College of Health Technology, is hereby renamed Ogun State Polytechnic of Health and Allied Sciences.
“This institution will now begin to occupy its pride of place among the comity of polytechnics in the country. I want to congratulate you on this elevation, and I want to assure you that very soon, you will have a substantive rector.
“I am making that pronouncement today, the 15th of February, 2023. I am the only one that can come here and make such an announcement; others can only come here and make empty promises,” he said.
The APC flag bearer further noted that his administration would continue to cater for the welfare of students in the state, assuring that his administration would begin immediate repairs on the internal roads of the institution.
