Guidance and Counselling

The Guidance and Counselling Unit was established to help students in actualizing themselves and maximizing their potentialities. It renders services in the area of educational, vocational, social and personal counselling. These varied opportunities are geared and focused proactively on producing citizens who are equipped adequately for the world of work.

It equally promotes healthy mental well being by sensitization through workshops, lectures and retreats on social vices like incidences of cultism, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, drug-addiction, rape, alcoholism, smoking, etc. The one-on-one counselling environmental facilitates students’ access to assistance whenever they are troubled. This ultimately helps in producing students whose abilities and aspirations are well coordinated for job placement.

Guidance and counselling services are provided from the Unit by highly qualified guidance counselor at the institutional level and by the course advisers at  the departmental level. The Polytechnic Guidance and Counselling Committee comprising of the departmental counselors and headed by the Polytechnic Guidance Counsellor meets regularly to share experience and to review strategies and cases.
