Welcome Message

On behalf of the Governing Council, Senate, staff, and students of the National Institute of Construction Technology and Management (NICTM), I warmly welcome you to our esteemed institution, a hub of innovation, technical excellence, and entrepreneurial development.

Established in 2014 as a strategic response to the recurring failures in infrastructure, including buildings, roads, and critical facilities, NICTM stands as Nigeria’s premier Federal Polytechnic dedicated solely to construction and allied disciplines. Over the years, we have grown into a recognized Centre of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), committed to producing skilled professionals and entrepreneurs in the construction sector and beyond.

We are proud to house four specialized Schools:

School of Engineering Technology

School of Environmental Technology

School of Applied Sciences

School of Business and Management Technology

Our facilities are world-class, designed to support both academic and practical learning. These include a modern library, state-of-the-art laboratories, fully equipped workshops and studios, comfortable lecture halls, and on-campus hostels for male and female students. Beyond the classroom, our students participate in real-life construction projects on campus and at selected external sites, gaining invaluable hands-on experience.

NICTM also maintains strong industry partnerships that provide both staff and students with local and international exposure through industrial training and collaborative research. Our approach prioritizes skills acquisition over mere certification, ensuring our graduates are job-ready and capable of addressing real-world challenges in construction and related industries.

As the only construction-focused Polytechnic in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, we are fully committed to delivering on our mission and vision, empowering the next generation of construction professionals who will drive sustainable development across the continent.

Once again, welcome to NICTM, where skills meet innovation.
