ADC Candidate Dan’iya Commits to Establishing Yabo Polytechnic

Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Sokoto State, has pledged to work with the Federal Government and relevant stakeholders to actualize the proposed Federal Polytechnic Yabo if elected in 2027. He criticized the two-year delay in the project's progression from the preparatory stage, calling for urgent explanations and interventions.

Dan’iya stated that the institution is vital for expanding access to tertiary and technical education in Sokoto State. He noted that a Federal Ministry of Education delegation inspected the proposed site in July 2025 and highlighted the allocation of N460 million in the 2026 Sokoto State Budget for renovations.

He emphasized the need for a clear timeline for the project's implementation and committed to prioritizing the polytechnic's establishment, ensuring it becomes a modern center for technical education and innovation, equipped with necessary facilities tailored to Nigeria's industrial needs.
