Grant Degree-Awarding Status to Polytechnics, Alumni Association Urges Tinubu

The National President of the Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti Alumni Association, Dr. Oyedokun Abiodun, has called on President Bola Tinubu to upgrade polytechnics across Nigeria to degree-awarding institutions. He also urged the government to improve funding and provide greater attention to polytechnic education to help these institutions achieve their full potential and contribute more effectively to national development.

Dr. Abiodun made this appeal on Sunday during an event in Ado Ekiti organized to honor Dr. Theresa Akande, a former rector of the institution. At the occasion, the alumni association also presented the communiqué from its inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
