Which is still in existence, organizational and institutional communication as a discipline consists of few professors or lecturers within speech and communication department who are the particular interest in speaking and writing in business settings the current field is well established with its own theories and empirical concerns distinct from other field.

Several seminar publications stands out as works broadening the scope and recognizing the importance of communication in the organizing process, and also using the term “organizational communication.”

A lot of lecturers in Kwara State Polytechnic wrote about organization communication system. Saying that, communication is absolutely essential to organization in other to pass effective and efficient information. They further explained that good information can only be passed through a good communication.

Kwara State Polytechnic as an organization believes that information has to be passed from the administrative department to the institute. And also the institute pass message to the various department. All these were able to be achieve through effective and efficient communication.

The organization was established then by Col.David Bamigboye (1972) in other to provide for training, research and development in language and also science. So since then communication has been taken with a strong hand. And has been in existence till today, personnel memorism and styles. The physical environment is anything that add meaning to the message.

L.Karry L.Barkers (1978) said communication is the process by which people transmit information and feelings. Also as a process by which person or a group of persons shares an impact information to another person or group of persons. So that both parties will understand one another.
