Welcome!

I heartily welcome you to the School of Engineering - the School that has remained closely linked with the great strides and impact of our College, Yaba College of Technology.

The School of Engineering is domiciled in over more than five buildings across the college grounds, with the main Engineering Building being one of the magnificent structures of the college. Our highly enthusiastic students are trained academically, and molded to be embodiments of good morals and characters. Whereas the NBTE Curriculum forms the basis of courses in all polytechnics, the trainings and teachings our students are subjected to are designed to be ‘above bar’ by the introduction of current technological trends to align our students and to boost their relevance in today’s constantly changing technological world.

Hence, the achievements of the School are largely based on a well-designed mix of theory and practice implemented by a pool of highly qualified workforce of over 10 PhD and over 50 MSc holders. It is on record that the School has produced distinguished men and women who have gone to make indelible marks in both engineering and associated fields within and outside the country.

I therefore welcome you to an enriching experience in our midst!

Engr. M.A. Onasanya, PhD.
