Federal University of Technology Akure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) was founded in 1981 under a drive by the then military government of Nigeria to create universities that specialised in producing graduates with practical as well as theoretical knowledge of the latest technologies in common use around the world.
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.
Currently the university has five faculties namely-school of science (sos), school of earth and mineral sciences (smes), school of environmental technology (set), school of engineering and engineering technology (seet), school of agricultural and agricultural technology (saat). The school also runs pre-degree science programs and university diploma programs.
The current (2005) Vice Chancellor is Prof. Peter Adeniyi.
