  • The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced that President Bola Tinubu approved the conversion of YABATECH to a university.

  • However, the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) rejected the proposed conversion.

  • NAPS instead advocated for the full implementation of the HND to B.Tech transition.

The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has rejected the proposed conversion of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) to a university, as announced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa.

According to Alausa, President Bola Tinubu approved the conversion.

However, NAPS President, Eshiofune Oghayan, argued that converting polytechnics into universities would erode their unique role and shift their focus toward theory-based learning rather than practical and industrial-based training.

Oghayan instead advocated for the full implementation of the HND to B.Tech transition, which would enable polytechnic graduates to receive internationally recognized degrees.

“The HND to B.Tech transition is the most viable path to improving the status of polytechnic education while preserving its technical essence.”

NAPS also appealed to President Tinubu to reconsider the decision, warning that they would mobilize polytechnic students across the country to resist the move.
