We present you the full list of polytechnics in Nigeria. Polytechnics are a major part of Nigeria’s tertiary education level as stated in the National Policy on Education in terms of technology and technical education.
They offer multiple academic programmes in two tiers – theNational Diploma (ND) and the Higher National Diploma (HND).
Because of their specialised nature, the policy mandateseach polytechnic to ensure that not less than 70% of its admission is totechnology based courses.
Aside polytechnics, we have other specialised institutionscalled monotechnics that offer similar tiers of programmes but are oftenlimited to one field of study. Monotechnics may be focused on any ofagriculture, water resources, information technology, health sciences or anyother field they deem fit.
All programmes of study in monotechnics and polytechnics aresubject to the approval of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).It is therefore important that candidates scrutinise this list to ensure thatthey are only applying to a school recognised by law.
EduCeleb.com hasvalidated this with the NBTE and categorised schools according to ownership. Wewould update the list as new developments arise.
In the list of Colleges of Education in Nigeria, EduCeleb.com also listed some polytechnics that offer the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE). Such programmes are usually in science education. The list is reproduced below.
