On behalf of the Management, Staff and Students, it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you to Federal Polytechnic, Daura. FEPODRA aims at educating individuals who will have leadership skills, be innovative, and have the ability to think analytically in a world where competition has reached a global scale. Therefore, we educate young people who will have efficient learning strategies, be creative and have the ability to design and programme new technologies.

As you will soon discover, choosing Federal Polytechnic, Daura may be one of the best decisions you have ever made. To help guide you on this new journey, we have put together this handbook which provides the essential information you will need as a FEPODRA student.

As a young institution, boldly conceived, the Polytechnic is intent on carrying on the great traditions of learning at the highest levels of rigor and meaning, with a moral conviction for inclusion and justice. FEPODRA seeks for academic excellence in all of its academic programs. Our major strength lies in a strong team of highly qualified faculty and dedicated staff to deliver first class education at an affordable price.

The student is the most important person in our Institution. We create opportunities and inspire students to achieve their goals. We encourage and challenge our students to be engaged learners. Our students will have opportunities to conduct undergraduate research and complete internships related to their areas of study so that they are well prepared for the workforce as well as lifelong learning.

The education we provide is designed to create new ideas and value, as well as to foster the fundamental traits of respecting the individuality of others and demonstrating their own creativity. We accomplish this through lectures, experiments and practical training sessions that form the basis for the logical thinking abilities of our students and stimulate their creativity. We provide polytechnic education that offers knowledge based on a foundation of public interest, transparency, internationality and ethicality; so that students can share the knowledge they gain with society. We want our students to become generous people full of passion and courage, who can make proper value judgments, maintain self-control, act in a trustworthy manner with society’s approval and with persistence. All of these qualities should be rooted in an acknowledgement of the importance of people.

We welcome students from diverse backgrounds to come together to learn and grow holistically and to become citizens of this world who think deeply, live faithfully and lead passionately. FEPODRA students will work, serve and learn together, becoming friends and colleagues who deeply care for one another. They serve others in our neighbourhood, city and world. Overall, students develop the skills necessary to be life-long learners, prepared to face a rapidly changing world.

We sincerely believe that our Polytechnic, which educates a young generation that will play an important role in the construction of the future, will be among the global brands of our country with its qualified alumni.

Welcome to Federal Polytechnic Daura and I wish you a rewarding experience!
