In this episode of the Franktalknow Podcast, host Dr. Olabisi Deji-Folutile dives into the contentious proposal to convert Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) into a university. Announced in February 2025 by Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa, with President Bola Tinubu’s approval, the move has sparked significant opposition from the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) and other stakeholders . Dr. Deji-Folutile examines the implications of this conversion on Nigeria’s technical education landscape, highlighting concerns about the potential erosion of hands-on, industry-focused training that polytechnics traditionally offer . The episode also explores alternative solutions proposed by NAPS, such as awarding Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degrees within polytechnics and establishing a dedicated Polytechnic Education Commission .  Join us as we unpack the facts, present diverse perspectives, and discuss the future of technical education in Nigeria.
