Abstract

The paper decried the current general scenario in most Federal Polytechnics that depicts a preponderance of negative tendencies. The precarious state of the polytechnics, in some instances, had degenerated into crisis and tension leading to the suspension of Principal Officers and/or dissolution of Governing Councils. Besides, the situation is inimical to the delivery of the institution’s core mandates of teaching, research, knowledge creation, and community service. Indeed, the polytechnics could not achieve academic excellence and could not compete for top position in Ranking Table of World Higher Education institutions. The paper posited that good leadership capable of providing the right direction, and spearheaded by the Governing Council will remedy the maladministration of the Polytechnic. However, the Governing Council must work harmoniously with the Management to make possible the transformation. Also, a key to cordial Council-Management working relationship is the stakeholders’ understanding of the: extant laws and regulations; the Polytechnic’s administrative structure, problems, and challenges; and the character of the host community.
