The Federal Government has directed polytechnics, monotechnics to stop awarding degrees.
National Board for Technical Education announced the decision in a circular signed by the board’s Director, Polytechnic Programmes Department, Ogoh Ngbede.
The circular expressed the Ministry of Education’s dismay at the increasing number of tertiary institutions in the country offering programmes for which they were not originally designed.
It stated that the government has given the affected institutions four years to graduate the last set of students already admitted for such programmes.
