President Bola Tinubu approves the upgrade of the Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa, into a federal university focused on mining, engineering and technology. Multiple outlets report that the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, issues a statement announcing the decision. The planned institution is described as the Federal University of Mining, Engineering and Technology, Nasarawa. The reports present the approval as part of Tinubu’s broader commitment to strengthening technical education and building human capital. They also link the decision to Nigeria’s development priorities in the solid minerals sector. While the sources emphasise the university’s specialised focus on mining and related engineering and technology fields, they do not provide additional details in the excerpts reviewed on timelines, funding, or curriculum specifics. Overall, the coverage converges on the same policy action: Tinubu’s approval to convert the existing federal polytechnic in Nasarawa into a specialised federal university with a mining and engineering and technology orientation.
