In a statement signed by Samuel Y. Obochi, the Deputy Registrar, Information & Protocol of the institution, he said the approval was sequel to the positive reports of the resources inspection visitation team of NBTE that inspected human and material resources in the polytechnic last year.
“With this development, Kaduna Polytechnic is the first higher Institution in Nigeria to commence National Diploma (ND) programme in Railway Transportation Sector,” he said.
