“To date, only a limited number of state owned institutions have successfully completed the data submission process. These include 20 state universities out of 48, 12 state colleges out of 54 and 2 state polytechnics out of 49,” Aitogo said. He said the application window, initially set to open on June 25, 2024, will now commence on July 10, 2024.
