Brief History of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The facility was officially dedicated on Friday, January 24, 1992. 961 students were enrolled and registered in the Ministry of Education’s fifteen educational programmes. Science, Environmental Studies, Communication Arts, and Engineering were offered. The matching staff strength was 3 (three) principal officers and 492 (academic and non-academic) personnel, most of whom were moved from Polytechnic Calabar.<\/p>\n

The position is distinct; the total staff strength is 676, with 253 academic employees (Lecturers) and 244 senior non-academic staff. The student population has also grown. However, the number of academic programmes<\/a> fell to 8 (eight) from 1996 to 2000 due to some programmes not being accredited by NBTE.<\/p>\n

NBTE has currently fully accredited 15 (fifteen) programmes at the National Diploma (ND) and also accredited 7 (seven) Higher National Diploma (HND).\u00a0The Polytechnic Governing Council approved the establishment of part-time\/evening programmes in all NBTE-approved programmes beginning with the 2006\/2007 session.
