The Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin was established by His Excellency, the then Military Governor of the State, Col. David Bamigboye (Rtd). The decision to establish the Polytechnic was announced during the launching of the four year development plan in 1971 in agreement with the policy of the Federal Military Government on training and man power supply as contained in the second National Development Plan (1970-1974).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea of Kwara State having its own College of Technology was first mooted by the then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd) during his visit to the State in July 1970. At that time, he expressed the wish to upgrade the Government Technical Training College (G.T.T.C.) to a full College of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
