Education is the cornerstone of societal development in any country. In Nigeria, the polytechnic system plays a vital role in providing technical and vocational education to students across the country. Federal polytechnics, in particular, serve as key institutions in this educational landscape, offering a wide range of courses and programs to equip students with practical skills and knowledge for various industries. In addition to being highly regarded, certificates obtained from Federal Polytechnics are federally funded. It is also usually affordable compared to state or private polytechnics.
