Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, popularly known as Adopoly or FedPoly Ado  is a Federal Government-owned polytechnic located in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the institution is widely respected in South-West Nigeria for its practical, industry-oriented training and its commitment to technological development. The current Rector is Engr. Dr. Temitope John Alake.

History of the Institution

Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti traces its origins to January 1977, when it was established as a College of Technology in Jos, Plateau State, with an initial intake of 350 National Diploma students. The following year, the institution was relocated to Akure, Ondo State, where it operated under the name Federal College of Technology, Akure. It was formally converted into a full polytechnic under Decree No. 33 of July 1979, which harmonised all Federal Government-owned polytechnics in Nigeria.

In 1982, the Federal Government established the Federal University of Technology at the Akure site, which necessitated the relocation of the polytechnic. The relocation to its permanent site in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State began in 1983 and was fully completed by 1986.

The institution has since grown significantly, expanding from 7 academic departments and 350 students at inception to over 10,000 students and approximately 2,000 staff across 29 academic departments in five schools. It also maintains collaborative academic partnerships with institutions including Adekunle Ajasin University (AAUA), Federal University of Technology Minna (FUT-Minna), Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Aberystwyth University (UK), and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).

Notice Board

Fed Poly Ado-Ekiti Issues Notice on Mandatory Industrial Training Requirement for HND Admission

The Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, has reminded National Diploma (ND) students of the mandatory Industrial Training requirement before proceeding to the Higher National Diploma (HND) programme. The notice was issued by the Directorate of Academic Affairs and is addressed to students and members of the Polytechnic community.

According to the circular dated 21st September 2026, ND students seeking admission into HND programmes are required to complete the compulsory Industrial Training after obtaining their ND certificate. The Polytechnic stated that students with Lower Credit and above must complete a minimum of nine months Industrial Training, while those with a Pass grade are required to complete eighteen months of Industrial Training.

The institution explained that the reminder became necessary following a recent communication from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) concerning cases where some HND graduates reported for orientation without evidence of completing the required Industrial Training. Students were therefore advised to obtain and keep their Industrial Training completion certificate issued by the Directorate of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) of their ND institution.

The Polytechnic management further advised ND students planning to continue to HND programmes to take the requirement seriously and ensure proper documentation of their Industrial Training completion. The certificate may be required during NYSC registration and at the NYSC Orientation Camp, and failure to provide the necessary evidence could affect registration. Students were encouraged to share the information with their colleagues and comply with the directive accordingly.

Kogi State Polytechnic  widely known as KSP or KOGIPOLY  is a state government-owned polytechnic located in Felele, along the Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, North-Central Nigeria. Established in December 1992 by Prince Abubakar Audu — the first and second Executive Governor of Kogi State — through an amended Edict No. 6 of 1994, the polytechnic commenced academic activities in January 1993. It is fully accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and approved by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for technical and vocational education. KSP offers ND and HND programmes across eight schools covering engineering, business, science, agriculture, environmental technology, art and design, and general studies. The polytechnic also operates a second campus at Itakpe in Kogi State. KSP attracts over 10,000 applicants annually and is known for its affordable tuition fees and strike-free academic calendar — offering students a pathway to timely graduation. The current Rector is Professor Salihu Sanusi Avidime. KSP’s vision is to establish an institution where theory is blended with practice, imparting knowledge that will culminate in shaping the individual and society.

History of the Institution

The establishment of Kogi State Polytechnic is rooted in the determination of Prince Abubakar Audu, who served as the first and second Executive Governor of Kogi State, to build a strong technical education institution for his people. The polytechnic was formally established in December 1992 through an amended edict, and took off in January 1993, initially operating from the Government Science Secondary School, Lokoja, and the Osara Campus, with Dr. Isa I.A. serving as the first Rector.

The polytechnic’s establishment coincided with the creation of Kogi State from the old Kwara and Benue States in 1991 — which meant the institution grew alongside a young state eager to build its own institutions and infrastructure. From its early days, KSP worked to expand its academic programmes and physical facilities, eventually establishing a permanent campus in the Felele area of Lokoja along the Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, and a second campus at Itakpe.

The polytechnic has faced and overcome significant challenges over the years. In December 2005, hoodlums destroyed school property in a serious disruption to campus activities. In 2010, a tragic accident left 18 students dead — a sobering moment in the institution’s history. Despite these setbacks, KSP has continued to grow its academic accreditations, expand its schools, and secure TETFund support covering physical infrastructure, academic staff training, ICT development, library improvement, research, and entrepreneurship. The polytechnic now operates eight schools, has built an active research and publication infrastructure through two journals (LOJAS and LOJMAT), and runs a vibrant Directorate of Entrepreneurship.

The university management clarified that the advertisement did not originate from the university and that no individual has been authorised to advertise university vacancies through private phone numbers. Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the circulating notice.

According to the university, all genuine vacancies are advertised only through its official website and national newspapers. Prospective applicants should therefore verify any vacancy announcement through these official channels before submitting personal information or application documents.
