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](/source/Esan_South-East) local government area of [Edo State](/source/Edo_State), in opportunities for [tertiary education](/source/Tertiary_education).[1] Pursuant to this change, he followed the due process of establishing a private polytechnic, by applying to the [National Board for Technical Education](/source/National_Board_for_Technical_Education), the statutory body set up by the [Federal Government](/source/Federal_Government_of_Nigeria) 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".[1] 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.[1] The polytechnic was given approval by the Hon. Minister of Education, to commence business with effect from January 29, 2010.[1][4][5] ## Programs - School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - School of Business and Management Studies - School of Environmental Studies[6] ## Courses The institution offers the following courses;[7][8] - [Accountancy](/source/Accounting) - [Architectural Technology](/source/Architectural_technology) - [Building Technology](/source/Architectural_engineering) - [Business Administration](/source/Business_administration) and [Management](/source/Management) - [Agricultural Engineering](/source/Agricultural_engineering)/Technology - [Electrical/Electronics Engineering](/source/Electrical_engineering) - [Estate Management](/source/Property_management) - [Mass Communication](/source/Mass_communication) - [Quantity Surveying](/source/Quantity_surveyor) - Science Laboratory Technology ## See also - [List of Polytechnics in Nigeria](/source/List_of_polytechnics_in_Nigeria) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-:0_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-:0_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-:0_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-:0_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-:0_1-4) ["Kings Polytechnic Ubiaja"](https://web.archive.org/web/20150601072303/http://www.kingspolyubiaja.org/index.php?var=his#top). *www.kingspolyubiaja.org*.
