Senate steps down bill to relocate Nasarawa federal poly

The Senate has advised Senator Danladi to withdraw his bill seeking to relocate a Federal Polytechnic to Nasarawa Eggon in Nasarawa State, instead urging him to sponsor new legislation for a new institution in the area. Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, criticized the bill for potentially relocating an already upgraded university, which could provoke community opposition.

He suggested that Danladi should leave the upgraded institution in its current location and create a new bill to establish a Federal Polytechnic in Nasarawa Eggon.
