The Federal Government has upgraded Anambra State College of Agriculture to a full-fledged polytechnic, Prof. Theresa Obiekezie, Anambra Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Science, and Technology, has said.
Obiekezie spoke on Thursday in Awka, while defending her ministry’s 2020 budget before the State House of Assembly Committee on Tertiary Education.
She said that the ministry started pursuing accreditation since 2017.
She said that the school used to be Anambra State College of Agriculture, until January 2017, when Gov. Willie Obiano approved the upgrade and charged the ministry to ensure it becomes a full-fledged polytechnic.
She commended the ministry for getting the accreditation and stressed the need for a high standard of learning in the polytechnic.
“We will carry out oversight functions to ensure that policies that will promote a high standard of learning in our institutions are implemented,’’
