WELCOME TO FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ILARO

Science Laboratory technology Department is one of the foundation academic department of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro.  It was established in November, 1979.. The department started off with a student population of eighteen (18), all in the first year of the then Nigerian National Diploma programs under the able leadership of Dr. K. O. Jibodu as the pioneer Head of Department.The department had an academic staff strength of nine (9) and five (5) supporting staff during its first two years of existing. The first set of students in the programme proceeded to the Higher National Diploma without breaking the Polytechnic education into two tiers.  Our first set of National Diploma stu...
