Ogundele said: "Covid-19 has thought us what can we do for ourselves without going to neighbor's house and this is what we have done. We have produced hygienic machines in series to wage war against the pandemic."
However, Dean, School of Business and Management Studies, Dr. Ebeloku appreciated the Head of Departments of SBMS for the support and acknowledged the technical team of Engineering Department for coming up with different inventions to combat the spread of coronavirus.
He said that nobody believes Covid-19 could last longer and that is why the stake holders in faculties, departments must find a way of curtailing the virus. He added that School of Business and Management studies signed a contract with Mechanical Engineering Department to buy hand washing and sanitizing machines to support the school management in the fight against Covid-19.
While emphasizing on the reality of coronavirus, Dr. Ebeloku said: " Covid-19 is real and we have to continue to protect ourselves against the pandemic. That is why we have procured these machines for safety purpose."
Meanwhile, the polytechnic's Director of Research and Development, Dr. A. S. Muhammed reacts to different fabrications across the country. He said, " The pandemic has shown everyone that we have the capacity to innovate but we don't have challenges. In other countries, they don't wait for challenges before they fabricate things but in Nigeria, it is challenges that is making us to innovate. It is a good thing to start from somewhere because the innovations might not be much attractive initially but with time, we will get there, the more we do it, the more we specialize in it."
