"SCRIPT AUDITING :A TOOL TO STRENGTHEN THE THE STANDARD OF EXAMINATION.

In a bid to demonstrate the institution's commitment to fairness, accuracy, commitment, professionalism, transparency and development, the Management of The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro has reintroduced Script Auditing, known as the Internal Control and Compliance Technique.

According to the Registrar of the institution, Mrs A.F Babatola, FCBAN, auditing of examination scripts, that is, cancelling of every un-utilised parts of the examination booklet, to avoid a situation whereby no one is able to write on the script outside the examination hall, is a robust part of the Polytechnic's examination system which has been in existence for a long time.

She added that the practice was paused sometimes ago as a result of the serious gap in personnel requirements for effective management of such an all-important exercise.

She, however, emphasised that with the improvement in the staffing situation of the Polytechnic, this laudable control system was rebirthed to strengthen the academic integrity and reenforce the Polytechnic's Examination System “

Script auditing should be seen as an enviable practice which must be embraced by every institution of higher learning in view of its enormous benefits, one of which is it's propensity to eradicate corruption and it's proclivity to promote transparency.

Script auditing also brings about accuracy and fairness in grading, it removes bias, undue favourism and nepotism in the assessment of students' understanding, which will in turn, elevates the integrity and the reputation of the institution.

In addition, script auditing acts as a control mechanism for accurate feedback, resultsing from fair and objective students' assessment, and it will enable the institution to discover the areas of strengths and weaknesses of the students, the lecturers, the curriculum and the teaching methodologies.

Script auditing should therefore be seen as a veritable exercise aimed at fostering a culture of innovative and continuous improvements.

It should be emphasised that it is in realisation of the humongous benefits, acruable from this practice, that the Management of the Institution, led by Dr. Mukail Aremu Akinde has reintroduced and strengthened the process of script auditing for the benefit of the institution as a whole.

Greatest Nigerian Students!
The greatest of the greatest Nigerian students!

Mr. Macaulay Boluwatife Olamilekan, the newly elected President of Students’ Union, the new executives and SRCs, the elected Presidents and the Executives of all legally registered associations and clubs on campus, the HOCs, Class Representatives and Leaderships, the most Distinguished Nigerian Students, best of luck as your exams begin tomorrow.

The new leadership of the Students' Union and the entire students, with delight, I wish you uncommon luck as you start your examination tomorrow.
The examination at the Federal Polytechnic is spectacularly a unique one. I had done it in the past and here I am today. I know that it is one of those factors why we are the best in the comity of higher institutions. Every staff(academics and non-teaching) takes our examination seriously because we cannot afford to produce half-baked graduates; graduates without the capacity to compete favourably in the labour market or graduates who cannot use his or her adds on skills to create jobs.
So, I encourage you to prepare well for all your theory and practical examinations.

My dear students, do read for your examination, but avert sleepless nights because the hangover may affect you negatively during the examination. Please, plan your time to have a minimum of 5 hours of sleep every night and eat in the morning or afternoon before going to examination halls.

Furthermore, ensure you bring your identity cards and laminated registration forms (ND 1, HND 1, and PT 1) to the examination halls.

As a result of late payment of service charges, you may not be able to get your identification cards on time. You (the new students) can still print your course forms and get this sorted out with the DSA on Monday 29 April, 2024. On the other hand, in HND 2, ND 2, and Part Time 2, you can use your old identity cards or temporary identity cards if you have misplaced the original ones. But you have to pay your service charges immediately after the first semester 2023/2024 examinations.

Besides, acquaint yourself with all our examination rules. My well-behaved students, do not cheat, hide incriminating materials anywhere for use, or take phones into the examination halls. Obey our examination rules and regulations; be courteous and humble to the supervisors and invigilators. Dress decently and properly to the examination halls and where you need to ask for something; raise your hand and politely talk to the invigilators about areas where you may need assistance.
Dear Students of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, do not be rude to examination officials.

Presently, we don’t have diesel in the Polytechnic filling station for use because of the ongoing scarcity. Despite the challenges, we will try our best to support you in doing well in the examination.

My wonderful students, do not see examination as a do or die thing. Work hard, pray and do your best in the examination. Leave the rest to God since there is life after the examination.

Finally, on behalf of my amicable management team, the academics, and the non-teaching staff, best wishes to you during and after the examination.
I pray that the examiners will serve into your hands by asking questions from those areas you have read.
Good luck to you all!

Rector, The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State

Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate death of one of our students, Miss AJAYI Abimbola Adejoke, an HND student of the department of Leisure and Tourism of the Polytechnic, who died as a result result of pregnancy related complications.

According to the medical report obtained from the Director, Medical Services of the institution, (as attached), the deceased was rushed to the clinic from a practical class complaining of abdominal pains.
Please read the above report for clarifications.

However, the reports going viral on some social media did not present the true picture of the sad and unfortunate incident.

The deceased was accompanied by her boyfriend to the clinic and he confirmed that the late student was actually pregnant.

Realising that the Clinic might not be able to treat the case properly, due to it's nature, she was quickly referred to a private hospital in the town and was conveyed to the said hospital in one of the institution's ambulances, accompanied by a nurse and the boyfriend of the deceased.

Her parents were promptly contacted, and they reportedly came to Ilaro.

The Dean, Student Affairs of the institution, Dr. J. O. Omowunmi confirmed that the parents of the deceased had taken the remains of the deceased back home in the Polytechnic’s ambulance.

In as much as the Polytechnic regrets the unfortunate incident and commiserate with the parents, it is pertinent to reiterate that the death of Miss Ajayi was not as a result of negligence by the clinic as being peddled, but as a result of pregnancy related complications.

The Rector, Dr. M. A. Akinde, FCA, FCIT on behalf of the management, staff and students of the Polytechnic hereby commiserates with the parents, friends, classmates of the deceased and pray for the repose of her soul by Almighty God.
