Adeyemi College of Technology Ondo, shines with NBTE approval

Adeyemi College of Technology (ACT), Ondo, has been listed by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) as one of the recently approved or upgraded Institutions in Nigeria for its innovative programs in technology. ACT has been approved,  as contained in the NBTE publication, to run OND programs in Multimedia Technology and Computer Science, solidifying its position to be one of the leading monotechnic institutions in Nigeria.

This approval is a significant milestone for ACT, whose focus is to be at the forefront of technology education in the country. The college, which was established by Adeyemi Federal University (then ACE) initially started with Software Engineering Technology and Hardware Engineering Technology programs in 2023/2024. With the recent unbundling of Computer Science at the HND level by NBTE and the upgrade of many Innovative Enterprising Institutions (IEIs), ACT is now poised to offer specialized programs in Computer Science, allowing students to major in areas of their choice.

"The approved programs are designed to equip students with industry-relevant skills in multimedia technology and computer science", said Dr. Kehinde Adenegan, the College Rector while giving a goodwill message at the Adeyemi Federal University of Education chapter's inauguration of the caretaker executives of the National Association of Academic Technologists. He noted that this development is expected to enhance the institution's reputation and attract more students seeking quality technology education.

As a monotechnic institution, ACT is licensed to run technology courses only, setting it apart from other IEIs and polytechnics that offer multidimensional programs. This specialization allows ACT to focus on providing cutting-edge technology education, making it an attractive choice for students seeking a career in tech. ACT already had a signed MOU with the Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji to admit its interested students for HND and AFUED Ondo, as well as reaching out to OSUSTECH Okitipupa to admit their students for their degrees Direct entry while the College is striving harder to be accredited for HND programmes.

The occasion was also an opportunity for the AI and Tech guru to market the College to the world citing that technology has come to take the work space and that everyone should leverage on the technological advances. He assured prospective students seeking admission into the College not to doubt the College certificate nor query if accredited but to see their desires fulfilled in practical-oriented courses that can put food on their tables for life. He encouraged those interested in securing admissions into all the college advertised programs never to hesitate nor allow any discouragement to debar them from their chosen careers in tech.

Present at the occasion were the AFUED Vice Chancellor, Prof. Isaiah Popoola who declared the ceremony opened and set the tone for the inauguration by charging all unions to be united, Comrade Akinyemi, NAAT south west Zonal coordinator, and Dr. Bello who delivered the inauguration lecture. Other prominent personalities present were Comrade Dr. Agun, Comrade Anifowose who was celebrated by the VC for his selfless contribution to the union's growth, Comrade Dr. Roland Irughe who represented Dr. Tubosun Ajisafe (ASU), Comrade Jumoke Obadofin (NASU), Comrade Dr. Taiwo Akinola (SANU), and Comrade Akingunsoye.

A cleric, Ven. Dr. Olatunde Abiodun, has urged Nigerians to remain calm and not be intimidated by recent attacks nor purported fearful actions around, including the Ipele-Owo incident, where gunmen attacked a police station on New Year's Eve causing the popular crossover night to be abruptly brought to an end in many churches within and around Owo, resulting in a great panic, fear and unimaginable tension in the ancient town and its environs.

Speaking at St. Patrick's Anglican Church Ijebu Owo on New Year's Day, even though the church pews were scanty with worshippers, Ven. Abiodun reassured the congregation and Nigerians at large that the situation is under control and that "unto. whom shall we go in 2026?"
