The Rector, Engr. Obafemi Omokungbe In his address during the matriculation hinted that matriculation oath signifies that the newly admitted students have accepted to abide by all the rules and regulations governing the conduct of students in Yabatech, shunning all forms of anti-social activities such as: cultism, drug abuse, examination malpractices, $eCual misbehaviour and other unruly behaviour. He encouraged the students to always abide by the oath.
Rector implored the students to be diligent, hardworking and focus on their academics, insisting they must imbibe the culture of discipline in academic to excel in their careers, shun all forms of distraction, take studies seriously, reading and learning should be their sole pre-occupation, and refrain from all forms of examination misconduct.
Omokungbe revealed that the College has some compulsory courses which must be taken by all students throughout their stay in the institution, and one of these is entrepreneurial studies which trains students from their first day in the school to be self-reliant. It is expected that by the time they graduate, they would have acquired the necessary skills to be an entrepreneur and an employer of labour rather than just another job seeker, thus contributing to the development of the nation in diverse spheres.

Any student that fails to achieve the mandatory requirement will not be admitted for examination. He therefore counseled them to attend lectures regularly in order to qualify for examination.

Management is committed to improve service delivery through provision of modern equipment and upgrade of classrooms, studios and laboratories”.
