NBTE approves 23 new courses for Federal Polytechnic Ukana
The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has approved 23 additional programmes for the Federal Polytechnic, Ukana, in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The institution’s media unit in Uyo disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, noting that the approval has increased the number of programmes offered by the polytechnic to 44.
According to the statement, the approval was conveyed in a letter signed by Ayo Aroge, Director of Polytechnic and Allied Programmes, on behalf of the Executive Secretary of the NBTE.
The newly approved programmes are expected to run for an initial period of two years and will commence from the 2026/2027 academic session.
While noting that newly accredited programmes are another testament to the visionary administration of the rector, Mrs Edumma Essien, the statement added, however, that full accreditation of the programmes will be due for another quality assurance visit by the end of September 2028.
