A letter dated January 9, 2025 and addressed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, stated that the initiative aligns with the Federal Government’s plan to ensure each state in the federation has one federal polytechnic.

“In view of the above, your Excellency is kindly requested to suggest the proposed locations for the Temporary and Permanent sites in Gwarinpa for take-off,” the letter read.
