FG STOPS POLYTECHNICS, OTHERS FROM AWARDING DEGREES

The Federal Government has directed polytechnics, monotechnics and other allied institutions to stop awarding degrees.

The National Board for Technical Education conveyed the government’s decision to heads of the affected institutions in a circular.

A copy of the document signed by the board’s Director, Polytechnic Programmes Department, Ogoh Ngbede, was obtained by correspondents on Tuesday.

Ngbede, in the circular, expressed the Federal Ministry of Education’s dismay at the increasing number of tertiary institutions in the country offering programmes for which they were not originally designed.

He however said the government has given the affected institutions four years to graduate the last set of students already admitted for such programmes.
