The Federal Government has ordered polytechnics and other
allied institutions to stop awarding its graduates degrees.
The National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, conveyed
the government’s decision to affected institutions in a circular labelled
TEB/PRO/E/12/Vol.11/132, dated December 1, 2022.
According to a copy of the document signed by the board’s
Director, Polytechnic Programmes Department, Ogoh Ngbede, and sighted by our
correspondent on Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Education expressed dismay at
the increasing number of tertiary institutions in the country offering programmes
for which they are not accredited.
“Polytechnics and other technical institutions in the
country should immediately stop admitting students into degree programmes”, the
circular contained.
It added that Polytechnics and other allied institutions
should avoid awarding Nigerians certificates in education.
