The director of Polytechnic Programmes of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Arch. Ngbede Ogoh, has expressed satisfaction with the infrastructure growth of the Federal Polytechnic Wannue in the Tarka Local Goverment Area of Benue State.
Ogoh, who applauded the school during the presentation of a summary of findings after the inspection exercise of six courses, expressed hope that it will translate into the quality of education offered to students at the institution.
Courses inspected include; ND Electrical – Electronics Engineering, ND Computer Engineering, ND Computer Science, ND Agriculture Technology, ND Public Administration and ND Business Administration.
Arch. Ngbede called for improved funding of polytechnics in the country, adding that many countries in the world had identified skills development as the most effective response to poverty and unemployment.
He noted that only polytechnic education could offer such skills to the nation.
The NBTE team in separate presentations called for the expansion of e-learning facilities, more office accommodation for staff, completion of a perimeter fence to protect the school’s land and keep to the master plan of the polytechnic.
The Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr Emmanuel Tyover Ashinya, described the exercise as a success and appreciated the NBTE team, assuring them of the capacity of the Polytechnic to take care of observations raised by the team.
He stated that a contract had already been awarded for the construction of various facilities in the school including an engineering complex that would house civil and mechanical engineering programmes and many more in the polytechnic within the next five months.
