Equipment Fabrication

It is sad to say that since inception, the polytechnic is yet to access this line of infrastructure. Most of the scholars that have applied in the past, had their work rejected on the ground that it does not confirm with what was expected. However, the directorate had taken this challenge by going to TETFund headquarters, interacts with desk officer, got the expected formats, returned to the Institution and educate those scholars whose work had just been submitted. They did the required correction and a favourable outcome is still been awaited.
