About Our Alumni Association
Connecting generations of educators, fostering excellence, and building lasting legacies
Our Story
There was dire need to educate and produce technical teachers in Nigeria after the termination, in 1967, of the Special Fund Project of the International Labor Organization (ILO) for the training of Technical/Vocational educators.
This need was earlier highlighted in the Gailers’ Report of August 1964 titled “a National Plan for the Development of Technical Education in the Federal Republic of Nigeria”. The report emphasized that the establishment of a Technical Teacher Education institution was for effective manpower development of technology in Nigeria.
The Alumni Association was formed with the vision of maintaining the strong bonds forged during our time at the college and channeling our collective expertise toward the betterment of our alma mater and society. Over the years, we have facilitated countless reunions, supported hundreds of students through scholarships, and contributed to significant infrastructure improvements at the college. We bring more than 200 years of cumulative experience of our members through collaborative efforts and opportunities via various forums
