Third edition of the most powerful and valuable magazine in Yabatech is out with extra weight, dusting the last two in value. I personally call it the legendary edition.
Led by Ohore Emmanuel, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief, Yabatech Magazine, this edition promises to fulfill your expectations and ginger you towards the next edition.
My vision for YABATECH is to place it on the global map as a place of first choice for technical and vocational education training. I want to leave a lasting legacy, a legacy that will make people refer to YABATECH as a great institution and a centre of excellence in terms of technical and vocational education.
The valuable magazine this year featured the best of minds, from academics to humanitarian activities, health, politics and of course my favourite angle business and youth empowerment.
Breaking the wall of fame and opening way to encourage students and staffs is the current Rector, Engineer Obafemi Omokungbe who give his support in making this edition a reality.
In an interview with the team, he talked about his vision for the college. His main targets are on infrastructures, leadership structures, security, 50:50 school fees payment, continuous salary flow for staffs and non-staffs, student unionism, the 2years strict policy for all programmes, weather ND or PT and 2019 general elections.
"...I must tell you that the state of the college roads, hostels, and other facilities are eye sore and dose not befit an institution that is regarded as the cradle of higher education in Nigeria."
The Rector also said that School of Management and Business Studies (SMBS) building, located in student residential area and WAPOGA cafeteria will be converted to hostel for student use, while the new Bakassi hall, SUG building and Student Affairs building are still under consideration.
Engr. Omokungbe is a Civil and Structural Engineer, who has been a staff of the college for over 25years, a chief lecturer under the Department of Civil Engineering and the first alumnus to rector the great college. And just so you know, he grew up at EBUTE META, let me make it easier, Oyingbo, a well know market place in Lagos state, so don't give up on your dream. He got his masters in Unilag.
(get the mag. for complete story at just N500)
Former Rector of Yabatech (1975-1985), Pa. George M. Okufi, was not missed in this edition. The 88years golden man also started his journey somewhere around Oyingbo.
Did you know that YABATECH started with just four department, in which I find Secretarial studies awkward. Others are in the magazine.
Yabatech had its first Graduation Ceremony in 1971
Pa. Okufi mentioned something that gained my in-depth attention and this we are struggling with even as youth, of course worst with the adults. He says, "...nobody care weather you are Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa. We see ourselves as one. Today the politicians and retired military officers have concerned all the vacancies and opportunities for their children. If you are nobody, you must know somebody to get a decent job..."
It must be noted that Pa. is the brain behind the all mighty Engineering block you see today. (more details on the mag.)
Legendary Professor, Victor Efosa Uwaifo, voice behind the original song "Joromi", which was recently modernised by Simi and Jaywon. He was also appointed and sworn in as Justice of Peace(JP) in 1990 and many more.
