Just make it a specialised polytechnic. E.g. Enterprise Polytechnic, Aba. Focus on hands-on courses like shoemaking, dressmaking, catering, ICT, etc. No need for generalist institution again. Aba is a haven for enterprise and creativity, let's exploit that.
This Lagos Man....very very good..
Maybe at the Committee level,they will heed to it....nice one

It is not about building federal institutions all around the country. How are we able to manage them properly?What is the quality of resource persons and training equipment? How impactful are our institutions both to their immediate environment and the nation at large? For me, this is another waste of resources.
You are not totally correct.....
The state has only one Federal Higher Institution and is the only state in Southern Nigeria with such....

Just like TheAngry1 had stated,Aba is peculiar and something like Leather Technology could be introduced....if we can have horology in Yaba,why not shoe-lacing or something that fits into its immediate environment.

It's a welcome idea Sir.

I hope the bill includes a funding and budget plan. How much will it cost to start and fund annually



Yes Aba needs a university not just a polytechnic but the issue is how to achieve QUALITY


If it is going to be like the many other glorified secondary schools then they should not bother

What is the strategy for getting lecturers?

Do we even have a strategy for primary school teachers in Nigeria?



Aba needs a well resourced technology academy that is deeloped from the bottom up and not top down.

This bill will not deliver that.

Government needs to collaborate with business

Bill is going through second reading, my question is was there any consultation or input from business community in Aba.
Even the curricula of these polytechnics is top down without reflecting the needs or realities of the business environment
Is there any school in Nigeria that trains people on how to become a vehicle mechanic,clearing agent or film producer or textile manufacturer etc huh I am talking about delivering real skills that create jobs

We need roads, we are building railways upandan what is the strategy to train people for all these investments for th next 20 years

Julius Berger has been in Nigeria more than 40 years and still imports Oyinbo to manage projects that were not born when JB first arrived

Polytechnics should provide training in how to build roads and buildings that do not collapse and kill our children not empty certificates. Such knowledge is generally embedded in companies not in schools.
The state doesn't need another Federal University...it already has.

According to info gathered, the State Poly @ Brass is to be converted to a Fed Poly on a temporary basis.

Your last paragraph is apt but its a general Nigeria problem bro. We all are hopeful that the peculiarity of the environment will affect their mindset especially now that it is at the point of deliberation.

Good one from the HOR....

Abia state is an oil-producing state and come out tops in the SSCE examinations back-to-back; yet remains the only state in Southern Nigeria with only one Federal Higher Institution.

Hope is not a plan.

When an Okada rider has 7 children and is "hopeful" that God will provide that is irresponsible and the outcome is predictable

Government in Nigeria cannot manage education .
They fail to do the basic which is provide curricula that are relevant.

You cannot have education without a strategy to produce teachers

Education should be a means to solving a society's problems not passing exams.

We cannot with all our engineers industrialize garri production in the 21st century. We cannot preserve the tonnes of vegetables that waste in our farms and we cannot produce food for animals so that Fulani herdsmen stop terrorizing us.
We still pound food with mortars and grind with stones
We cannot make decent furniture.
That is what we should teach in our schools

We need less not more polytechnics but of course the counter will be why bring this up when it is the turn of Aba.

My point is government may provide money but should let it be a PPP . The current model where government OWNS and runs universities and polytechnics is outdated. Too many people are admitted to government universities and the degrees are devalued.
Again in Nigeria because of our mentality I do not think we need ANY polytechnic. They should all be upgraded to Universities

Today Ngige said we have surplus doctors
I guess we have surplus lecturers who are just waiting for this bill to pass so the can start work grin

The truth is the best educated countries rule the world.
The best educated are those who produce stuff or have skills that people want to buy

We cannot even produce our oil by ourselves
Chinese are building our rails and we were not even smart enough to include skill transfer clauses in the contract
so who shall maintain them in future
Who maintains our National Assembly

Shell, Total, AGIP are from countries that have no oil of their own
