Shehu Sani’s prediction of the extinction of polytechnics and colleges of education based on JAMB scores

Shehu Sani, the former senator who represented Kaduna Central in the eighth National Assembly, predicted that there would be a time when no one would be applying to study Nigerian polytechnics and colleges of education. The outspoken former senator added that the polytechnics and colleges of education that saw the trend are quickly converting to universities, eventually leading to their extinction.

In a tweet on Wednesday, December 11, Sani attributed the problem to the emphasis on university degrees in employment and promotion.

Senator Shehu Sani tweet reads:

Nigerians’ Reactions to Polytechnic and University Disparities Some Nigerians have taken to the comment section of the tweet and shared their perspective. Below are some of their comments:

Paul of Truth wrote

“From jamb scores, there is already segregation based on what school one can attend, either university or polytechnic.”

Joe posited

“Since the hunter has learned to shoot without missing, the birds, too, have learnt to fly without perching. It is only those who refuse to prioritize higher institutions that have sense in Nigeria.”

Musa Jidda commented

“This is a policy problem; government body language is always showing that anything that has to do with skill is for the poor.”
