Odedeji disclosed this while defending the institutions budget performance between January and June before Ogun Assembly Committee on Education, Science and Technology in Abeokuta.

He explained that the institution was awaiting the accreditation of some of its Higher National Diploma programmes by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), saying that the accreditation would boost the revenue of the institution.

In his remarks, Mr Ademuyiwa Adeyemi, the Committee Chairman, charged the management of the institution to work on the accreditation of some of its courses in order to overcome challenges facing the institution.
