FG Bans Establishment of New Public Universities and Polytechnics for 7 Years.

The Federal Government has announced a 7-year suspension on the creation of new public universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. According to the Ministry of Education, the ban is necessary to focus resources on strengthening existing institutions.

The decision has sparked mixed reactions among education stakeholders. While some argue that the move will help consolidate funding and improve standards, others fear it will restrict access to higher education for Nigeria’s growing population.

The ban is expected to reshape discussions around Nigeria’s educational development, particularly amid ongoing debates about underfunding and inadequate facilities in tertiary institutions.
