Segun Aluko, who said that the assignment was a challenge from the Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education, (NBTE) encouraged the team to endeavor to come out with a modern ventilator which will assist in fighting the killer virus currently ravaging the universe.

He added that the Polytechnic is ready to support the team with the provision of all their needs towards making the research, designing and fabrication of the ventilator a huge success.
