Overview
Abiola Ajimobi Technical University (AATU), widely known by its former name First Technical University (Tech-U), is a pioneering state-owned specialized institution in Ibadan, Oyo State. Originally established in 2012 and rebranded in 2023 to honor its founder, the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, AATU operates under a unique Public-Private Partnership model. The university is expressly practice-oriented, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world industrial application through its core focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Tech-U campus is designed as an industrial park-style learning environment. The university runs a strict, fully residential policy, meaning all students live on campus in designated hostels. The institution is famous for its 'Triple-Certification' model: beyond their primary degree, every student is mandated to undergo rigorous training to earn a Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurial (TVET) Diploma and a Diploma in French, ensuring graduates are globally competitive and instantly employable or ready to launch their own businesses.
