       programmes

       News reports from Guardian saidthe monitoring body for tertiary
       technical institutions in the country, the National Board for
       Technical Education (NBTE), has withdrawn the accreditation of
       all programmes offered at Crown Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti
       State, citing breach of standards.
       According to a letter to the institution’s Proprietor, dated
       August 2, 2013, and signed by NBTE Executive Secretary, Dr.
       Masa’udu Kazaure, the “withdrawal of accreditation of programmes
       in Crown Polytechnic has become necessary in view of myriad
       petitions received from organisations, government agencies and
       students on the conduct and operation of the polytechnic.”
       Kazaure explained: “Subsequent investigation by the Board
       revealed that the polytechnic had been operating in
       contravention of the Basic Minimum Academic Standards as
       prescribed by law.”
       The Board noted: “Crown Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, had been running
       ND and HND programmes in 30 centres acrossthe country,
       particularly in Yenagoa, Kabba, Akure, Ondo andin various towns
       in Ekiti State. This is in contravention of the Federal
       Executive Council’s directive against operation of
       satellite/outreach centres by all tertiary education
       institutions in the country.
       “It was further established that the Polytechnic had been
       runningunapproved ND programmes in Urban and Regional Planning,
       Quantity Surveying and Public Administration and had submitted
       list of students for mobilisation to NYSC in unapproved HND
       Computer Science and Electrical/Electronics Engineering
       programmes.
       “The Board has, therefore, directed the Polytechnic to stop all
       academic activities in all its illegal satellite/outreach study
       centres; close down the illegal campuses/centres; report these
       centres to the security agencies, where appropriate, to ensure
       that they do not propagate or relocate to other addresses.”
       NBTE officials also asked the institution to “publish a
       disclaimer of names and addresses of these illegal /satellite
       campuses in at least twonational dailies for the information of
       the public, as well as ensure that the institution would not
       engage in any further collaboration or unapproved affiliation
       with any person/organisation to run any programme
       again.”[br][br][br]You can email this topic to your friend by
