She said, “In 1959, Baku Oil-Technological College was moved from Baku to Sumgayit and located in Sumgayit. This was a substantial demand of the time. It was necessary to prepare cadres for great chemical industry of Sumgayit. Thousands of qualified personnel have been trained in this educational institution, which began to function as Sumgayit Chemical Technology College in 1959. This year, celebration of the 70th anniversary of Sumgayit city and the 60th anniversary of Sumgayit State Technical College is a sign of great care and attention. On behalf of the staff and myself, I would like to thank President Ilham Aliyev for this attention. As a result of the work done by President Ilham Aliyev, Sumgayit has become even more beautiful, its fame has grown, and a whole new infrastructure has been created in the city. Development of Sumgayit shows that Heydar Aliyev's dreams come true. Under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, confidently pursuing the strategy of national leader Heydar Aliyev, our country is making new achievements in all areas and expanding the scope of success. For this, on behalf of the collective of College, I express my gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev, Mr. Elkhan Huseynov, rector of Sumgayit State University, and Mr. Zakir Farajov, head of Executive power of Sumgayit.
Congratulating the college staff on the anniversary, Deputy Minister of Education Firudin Gurbanov greeted the participants on behalf of the Minister of Education, Mr. Jeyhun Bayramov, and spoke about the care and attention given to education in the country. He said, “According to the relevant order of the Ministry of Education, Sumgayit State Technical College was attached to Sumgayit State University and renamed into Sumgayit State Technical College. This year, dozens of Sumgait State Technical College graduates entered the country's universities. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the college, I wish the college staff good luck”.
Rector of SSU Professor Elkhan Huseynov said, “60 years have passed since the establishment of Sumgayit State Technical College. This educational institution
played an indispensable role in the development of the chemical and metallurgical industry of Sumgayit. In 1959, the Sumgayit Chemical Technology College was founded.

There are positive changes in the activity of the college, which are driven by the high state care for our science and education, as well as the hard work of the teaching staff”.
