Rector’s welcome speech
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Ilesa City College of Technology
The years as a student are formative years. Certainly you will graduate from our institution as a different person – more mature, shaped and inspired by new knowledge and friendships. Now it’s your turn to set out on this exciting journey.
You should rest assured that we will support you on your way. We hope you will thrive as a student. Your academic success and well-being is as important to us as it is to you.
Ilesa College of Technology puts great emphasis on innovation in teaching, learning, and entrepreneurship.
My advice to you is to bring out your willpower, to be ambitious in your studies and engaged in the student community. Find your perfect study spot on campus. Take breaks. Be social. Discuss your subject field and listen clearly to other arguments. Take part in dialogues and debates. That’s how you’ll learn who you are, what gets you going and what to pursue.
Therefore, we strongly encourage our students to study abroad as part of their time in ICCT. We offer several skill programmes and will do our utmost to make sure your learning outcome will be relevant and valuable.
As a student, you must do your own thinking. You must be critical and construct your own knowledge. Our Lecturer will help you take ownership of the course you study. remember, studying is not only about memorizing facts and blindly accepting what you hear or read. It is more about gathering evidence, analyzing what you take in and arrive at your own conclusion. To seek knowledge is a lifelong pursuit in which it is important to stay curious, reflective and open-minded. Therefore, while you are a student on our campus do not be afraid to challenge the well-known and explore the unknown; in line with the motto of our institution “Excellence and Productivity.
Good luck on your journey! Use your opportunities! It starts here today!
