The Federal Ministry of Education also directed the institute, based in Kaduna, to discontinue all university affiliations and degree-awarding arrangements, stressing that it was not authorised to award NCE or university degrees.
The ministry announced the decisions in a statement issued yesterday by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.
It warned prospective students, parents and the general public against seeking admission into the affected programmes, including full-time, part-time and Distance Learning Studies.
“Consequently, all admissions into NTI’s NCE and degree programmes for the 2026 academic session have been cancelled, while the Institute has been directed to discontinue all university affiliations and degree-awarding arrangements, as it is not authorised to award NCE and university degrees,” the statement said. The ministry further warned members of the public against applying for the programmes, accepting admission offers or making payments. “The ministry emphasises that no further admissions into the affected programmes, whether full-time, part-time or through Distance Learning Studies (DLS), are permitted,” it stated. According to the ministry, the directive followed violations of the Ministerial Operational Guidelines issued on September 12, 2025.
