It is on record that government policies are progressive in nature and in line with existing realities. In the mid 80s, the Government Established 4 federal Universities of Technology in the following Geo-political zones in Nigeria.
(1) Federal University of Technology located at Minna, Niger state for the North Central.
(2) Federal University of Technology Yola in Adamawa State for the North East.
(3) Federal University of Technology Akure in Ondo state for the South West.
(4) Federal University of Technology Owerri in Imo state for the South East.
Today we now have six geo political zones and the south South and the North West zones are the only Zones without a Federal University of Technology.
South South zone is the oil belt of Nigeria and the main resources provider but does not have a federal university of technology that will supply man power for the Oil and gas industry. Therefore the call for the Establishment of Federal university of Technology Ogoja (FUTOG) is justifiable to satisfy the yearnings of the people of South South zone for equity, Fairness and justice.
