President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of the Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe, Lagos State.
This was confirmed by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary on Thursday, November 6, 2025.
According to him, the President has signed the Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe Establishment Bill 2025 into law.
“It is my honour to announce that the Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe establishment bill 2025 has been assented to by Mr President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Akpabio said.
He noted that following the Senate’s transmission of the authenticated copies of the bill, two certified copies were returned with the President’s signature, cementing the university’s establishment.
“Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe establishment has come to stay,” he added, congratulating the people of Epe and Lagos State.
Akpabio also expressed gratitude to the President for, in his words, “opening the doors of education nationwide,” further reinforcing Tinubu’s focus on expanding access to specialized higher education across the country.
The bill was sponsored by Opeyemi Bamidele, Senate Leader, and seconded by Oyelola Ashiru, the Deputy Majority Leader.
Nigeria has about 72 federal universities, 42 federal Polytechnics, and 28 colleges of education, in addition to hundreds of state-owned and private tertiary institutions, as well as specialised schools.
However, no fewer than 200 bills to establish public universities are before the two chambers of the National Assembly.
In August, the federal government imposed a seven-year moratorium on the creation of new federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, citing the proliferation of under-listed institutions, overstretched resources, and a decline in academic quality.
