Rectors under the aegis of Council of Heads of Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology in Nigeria, COHEADS, began their 123rd regular meeting at Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, Wednesday, with a call on them to brace up to the challenge of making a meaningful impact on the nation’s drive to actualise Vision – 20:2020.

Dr. Margaret Kudirat Ladipo, Rector, Yaba College of Technology, in her welcome address, said, “we can achieve this by encouraging scholarship among the staff and students and establishing academic fellowships with established institutions and research centres across the globe.”

She said similarly, students should be encouraged to aspire for academic excellence by adequately rewarding outstanding performance.
