Polytechnics Must re-shift focus; Rector, Federal Polytechnic, Offa advises.





Rector, Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Dr. Lateef Olatunji says Polytechnics in Nigeria have deviated from their original concept of focusing on technical education,

He added that polytechnics in the country now do more of arts courses than science and technical oriented courses.

Dr Olatunji canvassed reorientation of the polytechnic education to revitalise nation’s economy development.

The rector told reporters in Offa, Kwara state as part of activities for ninth convocation and 25th anniversary of the institution.

The rector, who said that the development would not help production of engineers and technicians by polytechnics, added that government should attract more funds to polytechnics

He also said that science and technical education would encourage entrepreneurship among youth in the country, adding that entrepreneurship was the key to self reliance and poverty alleviation.




Dr. Olatunji, who said that a total of 6,000 students would graduate during the ninth convocation of the institution, added that his administration had succeeded to block leakages in financial operations among workers by discouraging frivolous vouchers.
