The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has approved N130,000,000.00 as zonal intervention for each polytechnic in its 2023 intervention line, geared towards reinvigorating skills acquisition in polytechnics across the country. This is to consolidate the efforts of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in increasing the capacities of polytechnics to deliver on their mandate. The intervention focuses on projects with academic relevance, addressing deficiencies in core areas of acquisition of essential instructional materials and equipment for teaching and learning. Since the inception of the Zonal Intervention in 2016, the Fund has allocated a total sum of N52,046,079,584.7 as zonal Intervention to enlisted polytechnics. The executive secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono, urged rectors to explore innovative approaches to skills development and devise effective solutions to enhance the quality and relevance of technical education.
