What Moshood Abiola Polytechnic does

Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) is a state-owned tertiary institution in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, established in January 1979 and renamed in honour of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olabisi Abiola. It delivers National Diploma and Higher National Diploma programmes across five schools — Environmental Studies, Business & Management Studies, Engineering, Communication & Information Technology, and Science & Technology — serving full-time and part-time students admitted via JAMB CAPS. The institution also holds Ogun State approval to award B.Tech degrees, expanding its credentialing beyond traditional diploma awards.

The polytechnic operates a digital infrastructure stack anchored by an official website (mapoly.edu.ng), a student management portal (v4.mapoly.edu.ng), an LMS (lms.mapolyng.com), a JAMB-accredited CBT centre, and a NCC-donated Virtual Examination Center with 250 desktops and a 200KVA generator. It also operates MAPOLY Radio 99.7 FM (NBC-licensed since 2015) for broadcast training and a MAPCED Centre for Entrepreneurship Development. Supporting facilities include a Health Centre, sports centre, and institutional units for security, public relations, and ICT.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees for ND and HND programmes (with a 60:40 instalment option for fresh students), a one-time N25,500 acceptance fee, and late-registration penalties of N5,000–N10,000, supplemented by allocations from the Ogun State Government under Governor Dapo Abiodun's administration. The institution has grown its academic portfolio with 8 NBTE-approved new programmes, pursued international academic partnerships (Canadian Education Council), and is investing in cultural infrastructure (KEGITE Club cultural centre) under the leadership of its 10th Rector, Arc. Dr. Babatunde Adekoyejo Jolaoso — the first alumnus to hold the role — who assumed office in December 2024.
