On behalf of the Management, Academic Board, staff and students of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, I wish to felicitate with all Christian faithful on the auspicious occasion of the 2025 Easter Celebration. I pray that the spirit of Easter as embodies in Christ's live and teachings guide us into submissiveness to God Almighty, radiating love, peace and selfless commitments. Let us reflect on the symbolic selflessness of  Christ to empathise with and care for one another and  avoid divisive and destructive tendencies. It is my sincere prayer that we take advantage of this solemn moment to work towards the advancement of Kogi State Polytechnic in particular, and Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole. Once again, accept the hearty felicitations of Kogi State Polytechnic and my best wishes on the occasion of the 2025 Easter celebration. Prof. Salisu Ogbo Usman, FCIA, FABEN. Rector.
