Governing Council and General Administration Office (CAGA)
(ii) Ensuring that the constitution has first-rate teaching and non-teaching staff;
(iii) Putting in place machinery designed to ensure steady supply of qualified students;
(iv) Making it possible for the Institution to be equipped with up-to-date equipment; and
(v) Serving as an effective link between the Institution on one hand and the State Government with the public on the other.
Members of the Council who were men of experience and being pioneering members, made efforts in a way that helped tremendously to lay the foundation for the current enviable position of the Institution among its peers. As the highest organ of the Institution, the Council took some far-reaching decisions among which was the appointment of qualified personnel into some key positions. Such key positions are now referred to as principal post. As at the time, the key positions were: The Principal, the Secretary, the Accountant and the Librarian. To facilitate their duties, the Board constituted some committees to work on the following subject matters:
(ii) Advertising for the appointment of the Principal;
(iii) Negotiation with the University of Ife on the transfer of the physical facilities at the Ibadan Campus of the University to the Institution;
(iv) Budget for The Polytechnic; and (v) Search party for candidates for the post of Principal.
The Council, concerned with successful take-off of an institution still in her throes of birth, considered the appointment of an Acting Principal to pilot the affairs of the Institution pending the appointment of a substantive Principal. Mr. A.A. Popoola who was the Principal of the defunct Technical College, Ibadan, was appointed the Acting Principal of The Polytechnic, Ibadan. Mr. A.A. Popoola was however later replaced by Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo who served briefly after which Mr. O.A. Ajayi, who assumed duty on 1st September, 1972 as Principal was appointed. Two other key appointments were also made. Mr. (later Dr.) T.O. Adetunji, the Secretary, and Mr. M.O. Kehinde, Accountant. The trio became the pioneer principal officers of the Institution.
