The Federal Government (FG) has ordered the closure of all polytechnics in the country to enable students to participate in the 2023 general election.
The latest development is coming barely a week after the FG ordered the closure of all universities in the country.
The directive was contained in a circular issued by the Federal Ministry of Education, directing the Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Prof. Idris Bugaje, to communicate to Rectors and Provosts of polytechnics.
