Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, has recorded a landmark achievement, securing a 100 percent success rate in the 2025 accreditation exercise conducted by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

The Rector of the institution, Mr. Simon Olorunwa Adegun, who disclosed this attributed the exceptional performance to the unwavering support and impactful leadership of the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
