Lens Polytechnic
Lens Polytechnic, Offa

Lens Polytechnic, Offa  widely known as LENSPOLY  is a privately owned polytechnic located at KM 2, Irra Road, Offa, Kwara State, South-West Nigeria. The polytechnic was established on 20th April 2012 and was founded by Azeez Yisa Bukola and Abdulazeez Isahq — an educationalist and a banker of high repute. Lens Polytechnic is an expansion from Lens School of Management and Technology, incorporated in Nigeria by the same management that owns and runs Lens School of Management, Offa — an innovation enterprise institution. The polytechnic is fully accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and offers ND and HND programmes across five schools — Engineering Technology, Science, Management and Finance, Art and Information Technology, and Health Sciences. The proprietors were concerned with the situation of Nigerian youth who struggle to get admitted into tertiary institutions but cannot, and with graduates who find it difficult to get employed or start up on their own because they lack entrepreneurship skills. As part of a remedy to all these situations, they established Lens Polytechnic with a strong entrepreneurship focus. The polytechnic operates a multi-campus model with sites along Irra Road and near Hamdalat Avenue, Atari Area, Offa.

History of the Institution

Lens Polytechnic is an expansion from Lens School of Management and Technology. The school was established on 20th April 2012, founded by Azeez Yisa Bukola and Abdulazeez Isahq — an educationalist and a banker of high repute. The school was accredited by the National Board for Technical Education.

The proprietors have always been concerned with education and had always been disturbed with the situation of Nigerian youth who struggle to get admitted into tertiary institutions but cannot. Another concern were those that studied in tertiary institutions and then found it difficult to get employed — they cannot integrate well into the industry or they cannot start up something on their own because they lack entrepreneurship skills. As part of a remedy to all these situations, the proprietors decided to establish Lens Polytechnic.

The objectives of the school are: to enrol qualified students and equip them with world-class skills and knowledge; to train students to be ethically upright and contribute their best to society; and to create studies that are highly practical-based, innovative and dynamic for direct absorption into industries and for self-empowerment.

Since its establishment, Lens Polytechnic has grown steadily and is now recognised as one of the top-tier private polytechnics in Kwara State, attracting students from Offa, Ilorin, and neighbouring states. The polytechnic operates from its main campus along Irra Road and a second site near Hamdalat Avenue, Atari Area, Offa.
