List of the Top 15 Best Private Polytechnics in Nigeria

Private polytechnics are technical education institutions managed and owned by an individual, community, or group of people. A private polytechnic could be a community polytechnic or an establishment run by individuals. Before a polytechnic could be allowed to run either National Diploma or Higher National Diploma programmes, it must have undergone several processes, such as accreditation of the programmes and approval by the Federal Ministry of Education.

The establishment of private polytechnics has been on the rise in recent years, and thus it becomes necessary for one to do research about the best among equals. Perhaps there are a lot of illegal polytechnics in Nigeria that deceived students with scholarships and cheap admission. After paying school fees and graduating, you get to know that you have been scammed because your results are fake as the polytechnic wasn’t approved by the government or any agency regulating polytechnic education in Nigeria.

I’ve come across many graduates who graduated from private polytechnics who were unable to get mobilized for the one-year compulsory NYSC and a few are unable to secure jobs and further their education because the certificate presented to them by the school management wasn’t recognized.

Therefore, it is very important for you to know the lists of the best private polytechnics in Nigeria where you can study and have your certificate recognized. Apart from the fact that these polytechnics are the best, they also run fast programmes; that is, within 19 months you would have become a graduate because you wouldn’t have to worry about the ASUP strike as private polytechnics do not go on strike.
