He said, “In the report of the NEEDS assessment carried out, the government initially promised to release N603bn to polytechnics for revitalisation. At the time there was no clear roadmap by the government on how to allocate the money to the institutions in tranches. “Since 2017, the money has not been released to polytechnics. It is after this initial release that we can then talk about the modalities to secure the other tranches. That was the position we took in the last 2017 agreement.
