The Nigerian Government has officially approved the establishment of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, Abuja, as part of its drive to ensure every state in the country has at least one federal polytechnic.
The approval was conveyed in a letter dated January 9, 2025, from Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. The FCT Minister’s office confirmed receipt of the letter on January 16, 2025.
In the correspondence, Dr. Alausa urged Wike to identify suitable locations within Gwarinpa for both temporary and permanent sites of the polytechnic. A joint team from the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Board for Technical Education will inspect the proposed locations before finalizing the site selection.
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic is expected to boost technological education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship development, aligning with the government’s commitment to enhancing technical skills and economic empowerment across Nigeria.
