Adamu, who was represented at the forum by the Executive Secretary, National Board of Tertiary Education, Mr. Idris Bugaje, said the approval of the fund followed the ASUP’s demand for improved welfare for its members.

He said the ministry was working hard to ensure the release of the money to the institutions.

The minister said: “I am glad to report that as part of the realization of the pivotal role of polytechnics to the advancement of Nigeria, Mr. President has approved the sum of N30billion to ameliorate the challenges facing polytechnics and colleges of education in Nigeria.

“The ministry is working hard to ensure the release of this amount to the respective institutions.”

 

In his address, the ASUP President, Anderson Ezeibe, decried the proliferation of polytechnics in the country.

He urged the federal government to increase funding of the existing institutions in the country.

Ezeibe said: “We do not agree with the continued establishment of new polytechnics on the largely unsubstantiated premise of providing greater access to tertiary education for young Nigerians as the existing ones remain unattractive to young Nigerians.

“Our Polytechnics are fast becoming mere constituency projects established to satisfy political convenience

Man Arrested After Disguising as Dispatch Rider to Murder Ex-Girlfriend in Lagos

Residents of a Lagos estate were left in shock on Thursday night after a young woman, Deborah Porsche, popularly known as Debporsche, was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend, identified simply as Lintex, nearly a year after their breakup. According to reports, Lintex had repeatedly threatened Deborah since their split in August 2024, allegedly vowing: “If I don’t have you, nobody will. If I no marry you, blood go flow.” Deborah’s sister described her as a hardworking interior decorator who had just completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). She further alleged that the deceased endured emotional abuse throughout her relationship with Lintex, which ultimately pushed her to walk away. On the night of the attack, the suspect disguised himself as a dispatch rider in an attempt to infiltrate the estate. Security guards reportedly stopped him at the gate, but he scaled the fence and gained entry to Deborah’s apartment. Eyewitnesses said Lintex first tampered with the gas cylinder line outside the apartment, allegedly trying to cause an explosion. When that failed, he forced his way inside and stabbed Deborah multiple times with a knife he brought along. Alarmed neighbours rushed to the scene and alerted the police. The suspect was subdued and handed over to law enforcement officers. Police authorities have confirmed the incident, stating that investigations are ongoing. Deborah’s tragic death has sparked outrage online and renewed calls for stronger legal protections for women against abusive and obsessive partners.
