The Rector of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Dr. Babatunde Jolaoso has urged members of the alumni association to embrace transformational partnerships and strategic interventions to rebrand the 46-year-old institution. 

Jolaoso, in a statement issued on Sunday by the Public Relations Officer of the Polytechnic, Yemi Ajibola, made this call while delivering the keynote address at a one-day training programme organised by the Lagos Chapter of the MAPOLY Alumni Association for its executive members.

Highlighting the importance of alumni relationships, the rector emphasised that  “The strength of an institution is not just in its buildings but in the bond of its graduates and as such the intentional efforts to build strong connections within the alumni community are critical”.

According to him, the theme of the meeting resonates with the institutional need to unite with purpose, support each other, and uplift the polytechnic and the broader community.

Jolaoso proposed several ways to foster alumni engagement, including reunions, mentorship initiatives, professional networking events, and collaborative projects.

Each of these touch points, according to him, strengthens the alumni network, creating meaningful links between past students, the institution, and current learners.

He said, “Shared backgrounds offer powerful platforms for collaboration; whether through career support, entrepreneurial ventures, or personal development, we can leverage our MAPOLY identity to open doors for one another.”

The Rector also highlighted practical examples of alumni-driven impact, such as internships facilitated by alumni and business partnerships formed among old classmates, which he described as evidence of how synergy within the alumni body can yield tangible, beneficial outcomes.

He further stressed that alumni engagement thrives when contributions, whether in time, resources, or expertise, are given voluntarily and from the heart.

The Rector cited the notable contribution of the Marketing Department Alumni, which recently constructed and donated a ₦150 million building christened” Legacy House” to the institution.

He reaffirmed his unwavering support for the MAPOLY Alumni community, underscoring that the true strength of any academic institution is found not only in its physical structures but in the lifelong bonds and collective impact it fosters.
