The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has endorsed the Federal Government’s plan to transform Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) into a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution, contrary to its initial intention of establishing a conventional university.
The National President of NAPS, Comrade Eshofune Oghayon, and the executives unanimously lent their voice and support to the move to convert the foremost institution in Nigeria into a technical and vocational university during a fact-finding visit to the college management on Thursday, July 3, 2025, held at its Council Chamber.
In his address to the management, Oghayon disclosed that the visit to the college was to discuss issues concerning the Association, particularly the transformation of YABATECH into a full-fledged university. Oghayon stated that the news of YABATECH’s transformation into a university initially came to the Association as a direct attack, as the only institution in Nigeria that the Association considered to have a complete structure was YABATECH. He explained that NAPS is aware of the institution’s contribution to national development and its significant improvements.
