Polytechnic Nekede, Imo, as the best in the country.
Masa'udu Kazaure, executive secretary of the board, made this known in
Kaduna on Thursday.
Kazaure said the polytechnic emerged the best after scoring 85.08
percent in the assessment of 112 federal, state and private
polytechnics in the country.
He said the exercise covered the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 academic sessions.
Kazaure said the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro came second with 73.08
percent while Kaduna Polytechnic came third with 72.31 percent.
Other polytechnics in the top 10 include The Polytechnic Ibadan,
ranked fourth; Federal Polytechnic Bida is fifth while Auchi
Polytechnic is ranked sixth.
Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu, is seventh while
Federal Polytechnic Offa, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic and Yaba College of
Technology jointly occupy the eighth position.
Federal Polytechnic Oko was ranked 11th while Federal Polytechnic,
Idah, is 12th best in Nigeria.
The NBTE boss said when disaggregated by ownership, Federal
Polytechnic Nekede also emerged the best federal polytechnic in the
country followed by Federal Polytechnic Ilaro and Kaduna Polytechnic.
"The Polytechnic Ibadan, IMT and Rufus Giwa polytechnics were the
highest ranked among state polytechnics, while Lagos City Polytechnic
is the highest ranked private polytechnic and the 16th in the
country," he said.
"Dorben Polytechnic and Heritage Polytechnic were the second and third
best private polytechnic in the country."
Kazaure explained that the polytechnics were ranked based on the total
number of programmes with full accreditation in the last two years and
percentage of programmes with full accreditation.
He said: "Other criteria include proportion of academic staff showing
the right mix, that is, chief lecturer and principal lecturer down to
assistant lecturer; and ability of institution to introduce programme
in new and emerging fields.
"They were equally assessed based on capacity building of staff both
within and outside Nigeria, teaching quality, including staff /student
ratio and ratio of full-time to part-time staff.
"Other areas are availability of current campus master plan, strategic
plan, and academic brief; percentage of academic staff with relevant
higher qualification and professional registration; and 70:30
technology-non-technology enrolment ratio.
"Another consideration was the incorporation of entrepreneurship
education into the institute's curriculum and fully established
Entrepreneurship Development Centre."
