FG Had Approved The Establishment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Polytechnic, Gwarinpa, Abuja
The Nigerian Government has approved the establishment of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, located in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This initiative is part of the Federal Government’s policy to ensure every state in Nigeria has at least one federal polytechnic.
A letter dated 9th January 2025, signed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, and addressed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, confirmed this development.
The letter outlined the strategic importance of the polytechnic in advancing technological, vocational, and entrepreneurial education in the country.
It also requested the FCT Minister to suggest locations for both the temporary and permanent sites of the polytechnic within Gwarinpa.
Furthermore, a Technical Team from the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) will visit the proposed sites for inspection. The approval of the polytechnic will be granted based on the recommendations provided in the inspection team’s report.
Dr. Alausa also encouraged the possibility of taking over existing tertiary institutions within the FCT, should the Minister deem it appropriate, to expedite the establishment process.
