The Federal Polytechnic, Idah was established by the Obasanjo
administration in 1977 as Idah College of Technology along with three
others as an aggressive attempt by the then Military Administration to
provide solutions to the problems of middle level manpower in the
country. This establishment was backed up by Decree No. 33 of 25th July,
1979. The College, as it was then known, took off officially on the 7th
November, 1977 with a student population of one hundred and eighty
distributed among two schools namely:
1. The School of Engineering Technology and
2. The School of Business Studies.
The School of Engineering Technology comprised four departments of Civil
Engineering Technology, Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology,
Mechanical Engineering Technology and Metallurgical and Materials
Engineering Technology. The School of Business Studies commenced with
one department of Secretarial Studies. Facilities for the take-off of
the various programmes in these departments were adequate.

(1984 - 1985), then Alhaji M. A. Danzaki (1985 - 1992) and Dr. Y. W.
