The Ondo State Government-owned Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), is set to relaunch one of its most cherished traditions as it holds the 12th–23rd combined convocation ceremonies from Monday, 20th to Sunday, 26th October 2025, celebrating the academic achievements of graduates across multiple sessions.
This milestone is especially significant, as it signals a new era of renewal and progress for the Polytechnic 12 years after the last one held in 2013. It reflects the determination of the institution’s leadership, with the full support of the Ondo State Government, to reposition RUGIPO as a centre of academic excellence, innovation, and national relevance.
The ceremonies will feature a rich line-up of activities, including a press conference, novelty football match, awards night, convocation lecture, alumni gala, commissioning of projects, and the formal presentation of National and Higher National Diploma certificates to deserving graduates from the 2013/2014 to the 2023/2024 academic sessions.
Other highlights include the presentation of prizes to outstanding students, conferment of fellowships and honours on distinguished personalities, as well as special religious observance - a Juma’at service and a thanksgiving service.
The Visitor to the Polytechnic, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Ondo State, Hon. (Dr.) Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, will grace the occasion alongside other dignitaries, industry leaders, alumni, and members of the academic community.
The convocation lecture will be delivered by the Chairman of the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC), Prince Biyi Poroye.
The ceremonies will not only celebrate the resilience and achievements of graduates but also serve as a rallying point for alumni, partners, and friends of the Polytechnic to recommit to its vision of producing highly skilled, globally competitive professionals.
According to the Acting Rector, Mr. Olorunwa Simon Adegun, the convocation marks a defining moment in the life of every graduate and provides an opportunity for the Polytechnic community to celebrate academic excellence and achievement.
The Management of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic invites all stakeholders, alumni, parents, and the general public to join in this landmark celebration of knowledge and accomplishment.
