Our Vision

Ibadan City Polytechnic will be recognized for globally leading research and education, the quality and scale of its partnership, and its positive impact on people, our place, and the planet. We aim to attract outstanding students from diverse backgrounds and expose them to a stimulating and innovative learning environment to produce graduates who will transform.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide quality higher technical education. We seek to equip all students with a solid, comprehensive knowledge base on which they can receive advanced, systematic training in their respective disciplines and are encouraged to exercise individual freedom of intellectual thought and curiosity. By encouraging independent, critical thought and the development of research skills, we prepare our students for success in their chosen careers and fields of study.

Our curriculum integrates classroom learning with laboratories for practical demonstration and interaction with practicing industry specialists and leaders. This, combined with workplace-integrated learning and internship placement opportunities, adopts an international perspective and emphasizes particular knowledge of global technology development that is now increasingly important to all of our students.

In line with our values, we seek to cultivate in our students a sense of social responsibility and service to the global community.

Main Values

Our values are embedded in:
Excellence, Reliability, Innovation, Educational Support, and Social Accountability.

Our Motto

Ibadan City Polytechnic was established as an alternative to other existing polytechnics, which explains why our motto is “Erudio est bonus” (Latin), which in English means “Education is good.” Upon this, we open the floodgate of technical education to many qualified students by charging the lowest tuition fee, providing free and compulsory hostel accommodation, and offering scholarships for brilliant, less-privileged/indigent/physically challenged students in order to have access to technical education.

Our Environment

Ibadan City Polytechnic is just a five-minute drive from the Bola Ige International Airport, Ibadan, and we are endowed with a serene environment with beautiful structures and excellent facilities, which include standard lecture rooms, studios, workshops, laboratories, e-facilities, and a healthcare centre, among others.
