President Bola Tinubu has assented to a bill upgrading the Federal Polytechnic, Kaduna, to the Federal University of Technology and Vocational Studies, Kaduna, in a major boost to technical and vocational education in Nigeria.
The development was disclosed by Daniel Amos, the member representing Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on House Services.
He said the conversion would expand access to higher education, strengthen skills acquisition and promote technical and vocational training.
Amos said the upgrade would reposition technical education, equip Nigerians with practical skills and contribute to national development.
The legislation, sponsored by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, repeals the law establishing the Federal Polytechnic, Kaduna, and provides for its conversion into the Federal University of Technology and Vocational Studies, Kaduna.
