The Polytechnic, Ibadan (also called Poly Ibadan) is an institution of higher learning in Ibadan in Oyo State, Nigeria.[1] Founded in August 1970, Poly Ibadan is similar to other polytechnics in Nigeria. The institution was founded to offer an alternative form of higher education, with a specific focus on acquiring technical skills distinct from traditional universities..[2] The vocational and skills acquisition center aims to guarantee that students acquire mastery in a skill before graduating, while also offering skills training to the local community.Poly Ibadan is also well known for its unique slogan written in Yoruba language as Ise loogun ise which means 'Work is the antidote for poverty', a classical Yoruba adage which stresses that hard work is the way out of poverty.[3][4]
