Abstract

ABSTRACTThis research project delves into the impact of Plateau State Polytechnic on the development of Heipang, Barkin Ladi L.G.A, and its environs from 1978 to 2020. The study sets out to address the prevailing lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the polytechnic's role and contributions to the region's development. The objectives encompass an assessment of the socio-economic effects, an analysis of the institution's methodology, and the provision of recommendations for its enhancement. The research methodology encompasses comprehensive data collection, from both primary and secondary sources. The findings underscore the significant and positive contributions made by the polytechnic to the area's development. As a recommendation, it is suggested that the institution continues and expands its positive impacts on the community, thereby fostering sustainable growth and progress in the region.
