Security was stepped up at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, on Wednesday as the Rector, Dr. Chioma Irene Awuzie, led the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, and other security chiefs on a final inspection ahead of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s visit.
The inspection came barely 24 hours before the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, is scheduled to visit the institution on Thursday, September 10, 2026, for the commissioning of major projects.
The security team moved through strategic locations within the polytechnic, inspecting access points, movement routes and other areas considered critical to the successful hosting of the high-profile visit.
Among the facilities inspected was the ICT Experience Center, alongside two other major projects scheduled for commissioning by the First Lady.
Speaking after the exercise, Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr. Chioma Irene Awuzie, declared that the institution was ready for the historic occasion.
