Borno Governor, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum on Monday, paid a ‘thank you visit’ to the minister of education, Malam Adamu Adamu, following President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval for the establishment of a federal polytechnic in Monguno, the most populated town in northern Borno, where education is backward.
Until Buhari’s approval, Borno had for 45 years, since its creation in 1976, remained one of the few states which neither had a federal polytechnic nor a federal college of education.
The Ramat polytechnic in Maiduguri is owned and funded by the state government while severe efforts and appeals by successive administrations in Borno, for the federal government to take over the Ramat polytechnic were not successful.
