The House of Representatives has promised to advocate for appropriate funding of Federal Polytechnics in Nigeria in the 2025 budget.
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Polytechnics and Higher Technical Education, Kayode Laguda made this pledge.
Speaking in an interview with reporters on Tuesday at the Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara State, shortly after the committee’s oversight functions, Laguda stated that there was inadequate funding for the existing polytechnics in the country by the Federal Government.
Recall The institution’s Rector, Dr. Kadiri Kamoru, had earlier appealed to the Federal Government to “inject more money into the polytechnic sector for Nigeria to develop technologically.”
