The Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) was established in 1981 under the drive of the Nigerian government with the motive of creating universities that specialised in producing graduates with practical and as well theoretical knowledge of technologies. This citadel of learning is located in Akure, the capital city of Ondo State. It is a public university that comes with the motto “Technology for self reliance”.
The Chancellor of this great university is Alhaji Isa Mustafa Agwai I, the Emir of Lafia, and the Vice-Chancellor Professor Joseph Fuwape. The university has a capacity of about 15,000 students (both undergraduates and postgraduate) and the unique color Purple.
