Assertions for the quest for a new polytechnic educational system in Nigeria have been various posited by researchers and administrators but not much has been achieved in this regard. The main objective of this technical paper is to propose a sustainable model for a new polytechnic educational system in Nigeria. Research methods adopted included both qualitative and quantitative. Sources of data included both review of related literature as well as administration of questionnaire. The research concluded with a model proposing a synergy among Technical Colleges, Polytechnics/Colleges of Technology and establishment of Technical Universities as well as collaboration between the proposed Nigerian Polytechnic Commission (NPC) and National University Commission (NUC) in the control and administration of Polytechnic Education in the country. The model also recommends that National Diploma, Higher National Diploma, Bachelor of Technology and Post graduate programmes be offered in the new Polytechnic structure
