== History == It is an offspring of the new Era Institute of Technology, Ubiaja, which was established in 2005. The desire for the change from an institute to a polytechnic was a result of the foresight of the proprietor, Chief Sir Francis Anegbode Ijewere, a retired chief of banking operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He saw in a polytechnic greater opportunity in the areas of technology and skills acquisition than an institute, especially in the sidelined zone, like [[Esan South-East|Esan South East]] local government area of [[Edo State]], in opportunities for [[tertiary education]].<ref name=":0" />

Pursuant to this change, he followed the due process of establishing a private polytechnic, by applying to the [[National Board for Technical Education]], the statutory body set up by the [[Federal Government of Nigeria|Federal Government]] to manage and control all matters relating to polytechnic education in Nigeria. In response to the application, the NBTE gave him a printed document on "Guidelines and Procedure for the Establishment of Private Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Similar Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria".<ref name=":0" />

Following the guidelines, the proprietor put in place a temporary site. He obtained all the needed resources (structures, equipment, and staffs both academic and non-academic), and acquired over 50 hectares of land for the permanent site. He thereafter invited the NBTE for advisory/approval invitation, which took place in April 2007.<ref name=":0" />

The polytechnic was given approval by the Hon. Minister of Education, to commence business with effect from January 29, 2010.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|title=Private Polytechnics {{!}} National Board for Technical Education|url=https://net.nbte.gov.ng/private%20polytechnics|access-date=2021-06-03|website=net.nbte.gov.ng|archive-date=2023-09-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926061746/https://net.nbte.gov.ng/private%20polytechnics|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2018-08-23|title=List of accredited private polytechnics and their locations|url=https://www.pulse.ng/communities/student/nigerian-tertiary-institutions-list-of-accredited-private-polytechnics-and-their/feyq29v|access-date=2021-06-03|newspaper=[[Pulse Nigeria]]|language=en}}</ref>
