Polytechnics are among the higher institutions in Nigeria contributing to manpower in the nation. The trail blazer of polytechnic education in Nigeria is Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH). This polytechnic was established in 1947. It is the first polytechnic in Nigeria.
Since the establishment of the institution, more polytechnics have been established by the Federal, and state government, including private individuals. A number of them have also been accredited by the National Board for Technical Education, (NBTE).
There are several polytechnics in the Nigeria which offer several courses to candidates. However, a number of them are simply scams that were neither approved nor accredited by the NBTE. You will see a number of signposts and adverts on polytechnics claiming to be government approved and asking candidates to enroll. It becomes very important that you know the accredited polytechnics in Nigeria so you don’t end up in a scam institution wasting your money.
