This paper begins with the optimism that the importance of the Polytechnic institution in tertiary education and its role in national development is now seriously unfolding. At the very inception of the Polytechnic and the Workers College in the First Republic, the founding fathers meant very well for the two types of educational institutions. But the best the Polytechnic could achieve in that era was to operate essentially in training students in specific trades and vocations to the City & Guilds Certificate level.
