We are proud of our website (www.fuotuoke.edu.ng) which is our window to the world, lending us greater visibility in the world, and learning to increase in our ranking among Nigerian and world universities.

Our classrooms and laboratories are well-appointed and even expanding, to enable teaching, learning and research in the most conducive environment and we have established a 52-seater Language Laboratory in our English and Communication Program.

We already have in place an Entrepreneurial and Skills Development Unit (ESDU) to act as a catalyst for our future Faculty of Business & Management Sciences and an arrowhead to community relations. An Engineering and Environmental Research Group and Flood Research Group have been set up to put the university in a position to do research in those areas and contribute to the developmental needs of the region, country and the world.
