The American Polytechnic of Nigeria (APN), located in Ibadan, is thrilled to announce the commencement of its inaugural academic session for the 2024/2025 academic year, set to begin on May 26, 2025. This landmark achievement highlights APN’s unwavering commitment to delivering world-class technical and vocational education in Nigeria.
In a bold move to elevate its educational offerings, APN has forged a partnership with Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, USA. This collaboration introduces an innovative 2+2 dual-degree program, allowing students to earn a National Diploma at APN before transferring to Lewis University to complete their Bachelor’s degree. This remarkable opportunity not only enriches the academic journey but also significantly reduces financial burdens, with an anticipated annual tuition savings of $22,000 for participating students.
Currently, APN is welcoming applications from both full-time and part-time students. Prospective candidates are encouraged to update their Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) – UTME school choice to American Polytechnic of Nigeria, Ibadan, to secure their spot. Detailed information is readily available on the institution’s official website at www.apn.edu.ng.
In a further demonstration of its dedication to making education accessible, Dr. Oludare Akande, President of APN, has announced a groundbreaking NGN 1 billion scholarship fund through the Dr. Oludare Akande Foundation’s Scholarship Program. This initiative will empower eligible students to apply for scholarships of up to N200,000 per year, supporting those in financial need while also recognizing outstanding academic performance. The scholarship portal is set to open on April 14, 2025.
During a recent visit to Lewis University, Dr. Akande emphasized the importance of this partnership. “We are dedicated to equipping Nigerian students with the knowledge, skills, and global exposure necessary to thrive in today’s economy. Our alliance with Lewis University ensures that APN students can seamlessly transition into a world-class educational system while alleviating their financial burden,” he stated.
Newspot Nigeria asserts that this initiative represents a significant opportunity not only for APN but for students across Nigeria. To maximize the impact of such educational programs, it is crucial for the government to actively support similar initiatives through robust student loan schemes under the Tinubu administration. Just as other nations empower their brightest students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds with accessible financing options, Nigeria must establish a comprehensive student loan system. This would enable deserving students to pursue higher education without the overwhelming burden of financial constraints, ultimately fostering a more educated and capable workforce.
As the academic landscape in Nigeria evolves, prospective students and their families are urged to explore the diverse programs and scholarship opportunities available at APN. For more information, please visit www.apn.edu.ng or contact the admissions office via admissions@apn.edu.ng.
This groundbreaking initiative not only enhances educational opportunities for students in Nigeria but also aligns with global educational standards, paving the way for a brighter future.
