The Federal Government has approved the establishment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, Federal Capital Territory, as part of its initiative to ensure each state has at least one federal polytechnic.
Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa announced the approval on Tuesday, stating the new institution will focus on technological, vocational, and entrepreneurial training in line with the National Policy on Education.
The Ministry has requested FCT authorities to recommend both temporary and permanent locations for the institution within Gwarinpa. A technical team comprising officials from the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) will assess the proposed sites before final approval.
“The inspection team will review the recommended locations to ensure they meet all necessary requirements for a federal polytechnic,” Dr. Alausa said. He added that the ministry is open to taking over existing tertiary institutions in the territory if necessary.
