Let us update you about the full list of polytechnics in Nigeria. Also, we will discuss the best polytechnics you could think of, and the courses they offer. Mainly, we have private, state, and federal polytechnics in Nigeria.
Before we talk about the list of polytechnics in Nigeria, let me give you a rundown of what a polytechnic is:
Polytechnic refers to schools, colleges, or universities that qualify as an institute of technology or vocational university, also known as universities of applied sciences.
Depending on the level of training, the graduates of these institutions will have entry-level employment skills to function as technicians, higher technicians/technologists, or professionals in their fields of specialization.
Most private universities in Nigeria are fake or illegal and sometimes demand low cut-off marks for candidates to be admitted.
Also, a private polytechnic or any private school is known for high tuition fees, so when choosing a private polytechnic, have this in mind.
