Nigerian Govt Bans Registration Of New Polytechnics, Monotechnics For One Year
The Nigerian government has announced a one-year ban on the registration of new polytechnics and monotechnics in the country. This decision was confirmed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa.
According to Dr. Alausa, the ban is aimed at regulating enrollment and ensuring that institutions operate within their approved capacities. However, health institutions have been exempted from this ban due to low enrollment challenges.
The National Board for Technical Education released a statement on Thursday in Kaduna, announcing the ban. The statement was issued by the Executive Secretary, Prof. Idris Bugaje. This move is expected to have a significant impact on the education sector in Nigeria.
“Polytechnics awaiting ministerial approval will be required to pay an application fee of N4 million and a processing fee of N2 million per programme of study.
“Monotechnics, on the other hand, will pay an application fee of N2 million and a processing fee of N1 million per programme of study.
“Applicants have 30 days to pay these fees, failure to which will result in the termination of the registration process.
“New health institutions, which are exempted from the moratorium, will pay the same fees as Monotechnics for registration.”
