Federal Polytechnic, Auchi ranked best in Africa

The Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, has been ranked as the best in Africa in the latest ranking of the best tertiary institutions in the World by Webometrics.

The development means that it is the best polytechnic in the country.

The latest ranking also showed that Auchi Polytechnic retained its position as the second best tertiary educational institution in Nigeria after the University of Ibadan.

In a chat with newsmen on Friday, Rector of the polytechnic, Dr. Philipa Idogho, attributed the feat to the hardwork and support from staff and students of the school that had ensured a peaceful academic environment in the last five years since she became the Rector.

Idogho expressed delight over the latest ranking, which she said has been as a result of consistent performance since 2010.

According to her “That the polytechnic has consistently been rated with the universities demonstrates the high standard of academic activities in the institution.” she said.

“The rating is a further challenge to the polytechnic’s management to work harder as being at the top is not as difficult as remaining at the top,” she added.
