Big Tech ramps up living room rivalry as Instagram launches Reels app for TVs  The battle for the future of television is intensifying, and Meta is making its move. The company announced the launch of an Instagram Reels app for connected TVs, starting with Amazon Fire TV devices. The app aims to bring Reels directly to the living room, allowing users to watch short-form videos on a larger screen alongside friends and family. Tessa Lyons, Instagram’s VP of product, explained that research showed people were already mirroring their phones to TVs to view Reels, signaling a demand for a dedicated TV experience. The new app is designed to make that experience seamless, with features like Blend, which lets users combine their algorithms with those of friends or family for co-viewing, and support for channels and categories for easier content discovery.

 GBOKO POLYTECHNIC GBOKO EXPANDS ACADEMIC FRONTIERS WITH FRESH NBTE ACCREDITATION EXERCISE FOR MORE PROGRAMMES.


24th April, 2025      |       2:04 PM 


In its continued drive to enhance academic excellence and institutional growth, Gboko Polytechnic, Gboko, today, hosted a delegation from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for an on-the-spot accreditation exercise of selected programmes.


The NBTE team was led by the Director of Polytechnic Programmes, Dr. Fatima Kabir Umar, who was ably represented by Dr. Moses Titus.


Speaking during the visit, the Proprietor of Gboko Polytechnic, Elder Benjamin Haanongun Achiatar Ph.D, warmly welcomed the team and expressed his appreciation for their ongoing support. He noted that each visit from the NBTE signifies not only progress but a reaffirmation that the institution is moving forward. Dr. Achiatar acknowledged the challenges faced by private institutions, particularly in the absence of government funding but affirmed the institution's yearning for continuous growth. 


In his remarks, the team leader, Dr. Moses Titus (on behalf of Dr. Fatima Kabir Umar), commended the level of development achieved since the board's last visit. He noted the significant strides made in infrastructure,  academic facilities and man power despite the institution’s near zero access to intervention funds such as TETFund. Dr. Titus hyped the management for maintaining high standards and urged them to sustain the current pace of growth.


The accreditation exercise captured:


Re-accreditation (National Diploma—ND)


1. Computer Science

2. Computer Engineering

3. Electrical/Electronics Engineering

4. Accounting


Full Accreditation (Higher National Diploma – HND)


1. Statistics

Adding to the already existing fully accredited courses in the Polytechnic.
