The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr. Chioma Irene Awuzie, has intensified efforts to promote and project the creative talents within the institution with the inauguration of a committee to oversee the development of the Polytechnic’s Fashion and Arts Gallery.
The committee was inaugurated on September 3, at the Rector’s Office, Federal Polytechnic, Oko, with a mandate to transform the gallery into a vibrant platform for displaying the creativity, craftsmanship and innovative works of staff and students.
Inaugurating the committee, Dr. Awuzie stressed the importance of providing greater visibility for the artistic and creative achievements of members of the Polytechnic community, particularly students and staff of the School of Arts, Design and Printing Technology.
Members of the newly inaugurated committee were Ifechukwu Uchenna – Chairman, Ubakaeze Peter – Member, Egwu Obinna – Member, Obokoh Patricia – Member, Chidi Nwachukwu – Member, Igwe Anulika – Member, and Elochukwu Akaolisa – Member.
The Rector noted that Federal Polytechnic, Oko, was home to numerous talented and innovative individuals whose creative works had the potential to attract recognition beyond the institution.
She charged the committee to ensure that the works were properly curated, presented and promoted to visitors, prospective students and the general public.
According to her, the Fashion and Arts Gallery should not merely serve as a repository for artworks, but should become a dynamic showcase of the ingenuity, skills and creative identity of the institution.
Dr. Awuzie further emphasised that exposing the creative works of the Polytechnic community to a wider audience could open doors to greater recognition, collaborations and opportunities for professional and artistic development.
She said that the committee was therefore expected to develop strategies for increasing the visibility of the Polytechnic’s fashion, artistic and creative productions, while positioning the gallery as an attractive representation of the institution’s creative strength and potential.
