The Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi said he
will build a University that will be one of its kind in the country and beyond
during his campaigning days. This idea has given birth to the creation of ‘The
Technical University’, the first of its kind in the whole Africa. This will be
a University with a mission to cultivate a cadre of technical professionals
with technical entrepreneurial skills capable of creating jobs and employment
for Nigerians.
The bill for the creation of the University was passed in
June 2012 by the state house of assembly, and already an acting Pro-Chancellor
in person of Prof A.O Afolabi, the former head of service of the federation has
been appointed, a study tour of 3 countries (UAE, Taiwan and USA) has been
made, more than 200 hectares of land has been acquired along Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, the technical committee for the take-off of the university has been
inaugurated which includes Professor Olufemi Bamiro (Former Vice Chancellor of
Unibadan), a lease of Adegoke Plaza around new garage area as a temporary site
has been made, so also is the visit of the technical committee to the Technical
University of Texas Lubbock (TECH-U), and the signing of an MOU between Oyo
State Government and TECH-U. The University will take off in January 2014.
This University will provide manpower and intellect in areas
where Nigeria and the whole world is in short supply, like Bio-technology,
under water Engineering, Aircraft Maintenance/ Repairs, Robotics, Automation,
Cyber-security, Mechatronics, Tropical Agricultural Engineering/Food processing
etc and its aesthetics and ambience will be second to none: This is where
