President Tinubu has approved the conversion of YABATECH to university – Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa says President Bola Tinubu has approved the conversion of the Yaba College of Technology, YABATECH, into a university. 

He disclosed this during a working visit to the college today February 14.

Alausa said the college is ready and fit to become a full-fledged university, adding that the school is an enduring legacy.

“The Rector said some minutes ago that the staff, students and management of the college have been praying and fasting that it be converted to a university. Somehow, you have kind of ambushed me, but I must let you know that when I discussed the issue with President Bola Tinubu, he did not waste time in approving. I am just waiting for the memo and other necessary protocols from the appropriate quarters.

This school is a legacy and with over 200 staff members holding doctorate degrees in various fields, it is more than ready and fit to become a university. All the credit about this should go to the President who loves education and is concerned about giving the best to the youths who are our future leaders.”he said
