Acknowledgement was also extended to the Polytechnic Ibadan Poly Consult, represented by the eminent Dr. (Mrs.) Florence, described as a paragon of discipline, brilliance, and intelligence. Her presence underscored the strong academic collaborations MEI continues to nurture in pursuit of excellence.
Speaking on behalf of the Registrar, appreciation was expressed to all staff, students, parents, the host community, and the government for their unwavering contributions to the progress of the institute.
In his founder’s address, Amb. Dr. Moshood Ismail Abioye reaffirmed the divine foundation of the institution, declaring:
