Federal Polytechnic Ilaro Upgraded to Federal University of Technology

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed into law the bill establishing the Federal University of Technology, Ilaro (FUTI), upgrading the existing Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro in Ogun State to a full-fledged university.

Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, representing Ogun West Senatorial District, championed this development, which marks a significant milestone in the district's educational landscape.

Senator Adeola's efforts to upgrade the institution began in 2016, during the 8th National Assembly, and after multiple attempts, the bill was finally passed and signed into law by President Tinubu.

 The new university will expand access to technical education and spur economic growth in Ogun West, an area known for its industrial activity.

Adeola expressed deep appreciation to President Tinubu for hearing the cries of his people in Ogun West and seeing the merit in establishing a university of technology in the industrial hub of the state.

The establishment of FUTI is expected to enhance the academic and research capabilities of the institution, providing students with expanded opportunities for growth and development.

This upgrade will likely have a significant impact on South West development, providing opportunities for students and contributing to the state's economic growth  .
