The Students Union Government of the Federal Polytechnic Oko on 24th June 2025 kick-started the students week with a call on them to stay away from anti-social behaviours and shun late night activities.

The Rector, Dr. Chioma Irene Awuzie while addressing the students, stated that the institution is strictly anti cultism, insisting that any student caught in such clandestine activities will be expelled.

She encouraged the students to continue to be good ambassadors of Federal Polytechnic Oko by upholding values and integrity of the institution in the campus and beyond.

“This institution is strictly anti cultism. Shun any form of fraternisation with the bad eggs. Anyone caught will be handed over to the police without mercy.

“Stay focused on your academic and personal development” she said.

She appreciated the students for their loyalty and obedience to the management and society at large, urging them to continue to be good ambassadors of the institution.

While admonishing the students she said “take your studies seriously, avoid being out so late at night and don’t hesitate to inform me on any concern through your President or Director of Students Affairs. We have a standard students hostel for you and more are still coming”

The Rector in her magnanimity supported the students week with cash donation. She also donated two desktop computers to the SUG Secretariat.
