The principal of the Federal Science and Technical College Yaba Lagos, Mr David Omada, has emphasised the need for collaboration between academics and industry to equip students with the requisite skills for self-reliance and industrialisation.
He highlighted a number of ongoing projects by corporate organisations at the college, which he said are gradually taking the college to its desired height. Omada said the school is also expecting a World Bank IDEAS project to renovate and equip the construction workshops, comprising building construction, carpentry furniture, concreting, fabrication and welding, painting and decoration.The principal said his administration began the construction of a 12-room science laboratory, which would be completed before a new academic session in September.
Omada urged the outgoing students to be good ambassadors of the college and strive to hold their own anywhere they find themselves.
