Robotics are being introduced in the west due to their declining human population.Much as It's admirable,it shouldn't be something we should be in a rush to introduce in this part of the world where we have an oversupply of human labour

stop talking what you know not.
If truly they are only running to robotics and automation due to declining human population, why are they still battling unemployment?

Lamasta:
Did they upgrade the facilities and structures too

And the curriculum?

samdaisi:
Lagos state is a country inside country,
Congratulations

Country inside country for turning a Polytechnics to a University?

Check out Delta state.

They have about 4 or 5 state Universities.

This has been in the works for some months now. It's good it has now been concluded, or is it?
Let's see how it goes.

Nothing to congratulate them for. There is community colleges in America that is equivalent of polytechnic, trade school to learn skill based vocations and no point in grading them cos their functions is different from universities. Upgrading all teacher training to universities does not change nothing if their lectures, facilities is still the same. It end up reducing the quality of education recieve by the students.

Johnnyessence:
Wow congratulations

Abeg me when dey do hnd program nko

Ynix:

Na oyinbo finish us, I mean UK they sold us lies. Polytechnic and universities of technology are in no way different from one another name. In some countries they call them polytechnic university, for some it institute of technology.
I don't see any reason for the upgrades, all that is needed is allow them to award degrees apart from the diplomas and make them highly competitive in terms of endowment fund and researches

Gbam

AI is being run as a specialization under computer Science

luxastoriang:
Commendable. They should ensure it meets standards.
When are we going to introduce robotics and A.I programming into our schools?

Are you really asking me this.

Where I know you

Uyi168:

that's my point.
they are not up to standard.

It'll affect only new intake

Because the governor is a baby governor who doesn't know what priorities are. Just thriving on frivolities to impress. Absolute Nonsense..

Eriokanmi:
Misplaced priorities. Polytechnic education isn't similar to that of university. It's only in Nigeria they discriminate. Their curricula are also different. Instead of upgrading it into university, why not equip it and introduce modern courses like coding and robotic engineering? This is what happens when you put a round peg in a square hole.

hmmm, stop comparing now.

How does it create employment .... Trash as usual

It does not to you, but it will help the students. There's discrimination to polytechnic students even in the academic sector
