Other Universities of Technology established around the same time were The Federal University of Technology Owerri, The Federal University of Technology Minna, The Federal University of Technology Yola, and The Federal University of Technology Bauchi (now "The Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University").
The first students were admitted in 1982 to a five-year degree program.
