“Six months down the line, not a penny has been released. If you get to some polytechnics, you will see that a lot of them are TETfund institutions, that is why we are talking about stopping the issue of proliferation of polytechnics.

“If you are not ready to fund the existing institutions, do not establish more. Do not establish polytechnics just because you want to attract TETfund.”

Ezeibe decried the non-appropriation of capital expenditure in many state-owned polytechnics.

“In so many state owned polytechnics, capital appropriation is virtually non existence, every single infrastructure, is sponsored by TETfund,” the ASUP president added.

“If you want to establish a polytechnic, bear in mind to meet the educational and technological needs of your people.”
