Taraba to Upgrade Takum College of Health Technology to Polytechnic for TETFund Access

Taraba State has begun plans to restructure the College of Health and Technology, Takum, into a polytechnic so it can qualify for TETFund support. Governor Agbu Kefas said the state would amend the laws establishing the institution, which is currently classified as a monotechnic and therefore ineligible for the intervention fund. He cited the Taraba College of Agriculture, Jalingo, which became eligible for TETFund after a similar reform. The governor also highlighted reduced tuition fees, accreditation funding, improved infrastructure, staff recruitment and new academic programmes across state-owned tertiary institutions. The announcement came during the college's first convocation since its establishment in 1993, after more than 30 graduating sets.
