The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has vehemently opposed the proposed conversion of the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) into a university, arguing that such a move would undermine the essence of polytechnic education in Nigeria.
Papers News had earlier reported that the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, on Friday revealed that President Bola Tinubu approved the conversion during a working visit to YABATECH.
Alausa noted that the institution, with over 200 PhD-holding staff members, was well-positioned for the upgrade.
