The administration of Federal Polytechnic Nekende, located at P.M.B. 1036, Owerri, via the Registrar’s Office, has issued a notice about a Voluntary Blood Donation Awareness and Health Screening event for members of the polytechnic.

The memo states that the activity is being coordinated together with the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA), South‑East Zonal Centre in Owerri.

Its purpose is to inform faculty and learners about the significance of voluntary blood donation, foster safe donation procedures, and nurture a giving mindset that can save lives. The program will also include medical screenings and a blood‑donation drive.

Consequently, every staff member and student is urged to take part in this humanitarian initiative and use the chance to gain insight into their own health and the life‑saving impact of voluntary blood donation.

The details of the exercise are as follows:

• Date: Wednesday, 25th November, 2026
• Time: 10:00am
• Venue: 1,000-Capacity Auditorium, Federal Polytechnic Nekede.

The administration highlighted that involvement will help create a healthier campus community and aid in ensuring a supply of safe blood for patients in need, noting that one donation can rescue multiple lives.

All Division Heads, School Deans, Directors, and Department Heads are therefore asked to give the event their full attention and support.
