The 10-point demand included full inclusion of Polytechnic students in the NELFUND scheme, implementation roadmap for newly approved TVET programmes, comprehensive Polytechnic curriculum reform, increased funding for Polytechnic institutions, legislative and executive action to abolish the HND/B.Sc. dichotomy and rejection of Polytechnic-to-University conversions with calls for system upgrades instead.

Other demands include National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) eligibility for ND Part-Time graduates, upgrading the NBTE to a National Commission for Technical Education (NCTE), youth empowerment and inclusion of NAPS technocrats in national programmes, and the establishment of a National Agricultural Empowerment and Employment Agency (NAEEA).

The NAPS President also highlighted the ongoing crisis at Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe, Bayelsa State, where students have been without lectures for over three months while accusing the Rector of gross mismanagement.

The also Minister constituted a National Committee to resolve the crisis at the Federal Polytechnic Ekowe, Bayelsa State with NAPS included as a stakeholder.

Key commitments from the Minister include inclusion of polytechnic in NELFUND, TVET expansion, curriculum reform, more funding and pledge to address HND/B.Sc. dichotomy through an Executive Bill to legally abolish the disparity among others.

Also speaking at the event, Comrade Dayo urged students to avoid late registration for schemes such as NELFUND and NYSC.

He warned that system delays often stem from last-minute applications, advising students to act promptly when portals open, while assuring that government will continue to remove structural bottlenecks.
