Federal University of Technology Akure
speciality: Computer Science

I, Francis Itunu Ogunlade, B.Eng Electrical/Electronic Engineering graduate from FUTA, gained solid technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and hands-on experience in automation and control systems, fostering innovation, teamwork, and resilience essential for my professional growth.

FUTA as the school is widely called, is one of the best university in the west, and also the safest. Spent 7 years in the school and had zero issues. The only complain is there long academic calendar aside from that, I will gladly recommend the school to anyone who wants to study in a peaceful and friendly environment

FUTA is highly ranked in Nigeria, and that’s not surprising considering the social and intellectual statuses of many of her graduates.
As a current student however, my FUTA experience so far has been one of mixed feelings.
While there are lecturers who don’t care enough to explain their subjects thoroughly, there are some others like Doctor Afolabi in Mathematics, who encourage students asking questions, reiterating over and over, “your father paid for it”.

While there are technical courses where the lecturers only care about the theory and understanding for the students is inadequate, there are some others where lecturers (like Engineer Charles and Doctor Ibukun Olajide) go the extra mile to demonstrate and encourage real-world applications of those concepts.

My school isn’t perfect, but any one who genuinely desires to be a great success will have the support they require.

Studying Computer Science at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has been a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. The program isn’t just about passing exams, it’s about truly understanding how technology works and how it can be used to solve real-world problems.

From learning the basics of algorithms and programming to diving deep into areas like software engineering, AI, and systems design, the journey has been intense but eye-opening. FUTA pushes you to think critically, code smart, and always stay curious.

What I love the most? The competitive spirit. FUTA students consistently show up and show out in national tech competitions, and there’s a culture of innovation that inspires you to aim higher. The lecturers don’t spoon-feed, but if you’re determined, you’ll find yourself growing in knowledge, confidence, and creativity.

It’s not always smooth, resources can be stretched, and the academic pressure is real but if you’re passionate about tech and willing to put in the work, FUTA will stretch you and shape you into someone who can thrive in the tech space, anywhere in the world. Not just the tech space but in any position you find yourself.

I love how it was been organized despite the fact that am not the student of the tuition. From my research it’s perfectly ok. I would like to do my I.T / intern here, if I will be hired then I’ll be glad.

It’s a good school, I like that there is a sense of competition in the minds of the students amidst workings together. I also love the fact that there is a mind-blowing level of digital skillset amongst the students, I wish it was cooler though.

One good thing about FUTA is the godly behaviour of most of its Staff, they act in ways to promote the well-discipline behaviour in the students.
Another is their calm and patient attitude towards the students. It is a major turn-on for students to learn.
