Welcome to Yaba College of Technology.
"Yaba the Great" as the College is
fondly known today, started out as a technical
institute which succeeded the Yaba Higher College in October, 1947
and stands to be the Premier Higher Institution in the country.
The College was first called "Yaba College of
Technology" through Decree 23 in 1969 and
again, Decree 33 of 1979 re-named it "Federal
Polytechnic Yaba".
However, as a result of persistent pressure mounted on
Government, in 1980, Government agreed to spare the original
name of
the College and it reverted to its old name of "Yaba
College of Technology"
The main objectives of the College, according to the
decree
establishing it, is to provide full time and part-time courses
of instruction and training in Technology, Commerce and
Management, and in such other field of Applied learning
relevant to the need of the development of Nigeria in the
areas of industrial and Agricultural production and
distribution and for research in the development and
adaptation of techniques as the Council of the College may
from time to time determine.
In Pursuit of this objectives, the College has continued
to
develop structurally, humanly and materially and Today is made up of
nine(9) academic units called Schools,
headed by Deans and Thirty-four(34) Departments
headed by Heads of Departments.
