The Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi said he will build a University that will be one of its kind in the country and beyond during his campaigning days. This idea has given birth to the creation of ‘The Technical University’, the first of its kind in the whole Africa. This will be a University with a mission to cultivate a cadre of technical professionals with technical entrepreneurial skills capable of creating jobs and employment for Nigerians.

The bill for the creation of the University was passed in June 2012 by the state house of assembly, and already an acting Pro-Chancellor in person of Prof A.O Afolabi, the former head of service of the federation has been appointed, a study tour of 3 countries (UAE, Taiwan and USA) has been made, more than 200 hectares of land has been acquired along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the technical committee for the take-off of the university has been inaugurated which includes Proffessor Olufemi Bamiro (Former Vice Chancellor of Unibadan), a lease of Adegoke Plaza around new garage area as a temporary site has been made, so also is the visit of the technical committee to the Technical University of Texas Lubbock (TECH-U), and the signing of an MOU between Oyo State Government and TECH-U. The University will take off in January 2014.

This University will provide manpower and intellect in areas where Nigeria and the whole world is in short supply, like Bio-technology, under water Engineering, Aircraft Maintenance/ Repairs, Robotics, Automation, Cyber-security, Mechatronics, Tropical Agricultural Engineering/Food processing etc and its aesthetics and ambience will be second to none: This is where Marwan Zgheib (pictured above) the owner of MZ Architects comes in. MZ Architects designed the world class Eko Atlantic City (pictured above) that is on going right now in Lagos and other award winning designs and buildings around the world. MZ has won over 400 awards worldwide. Marwan Zgheib has promised to come up with designs for this University that will win him more awards.

Some designs by the company....

A thinking government that is above "chop make I chop mentality", but prepares for the generation unborn.
