Senator Uba Sani from Kaduna sponsored the bill for the establishment of the Federal College of Education, Giwa.

Kaita said that the Federal Polytechnic Auchi was currently running degree programmes in affiliation with Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra with enrollment of over 50, 000 students on full and part-time.

Academic activities at the Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Gbaramatu Kingdom, took off over two years ago after leaders of the Niger Delta region pleaded with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to allow its take-off.
