According to him, the Senate had earlier transmitted the authenticated version of the bill to the President, who returned two certified copies bearing his signature, thereby completing the legal process for the institution’s establishment.

“By this assent, the Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe, has officially come to stay,” Akpabio stated, congratulating the people of Epe and Lagos State on the development.

He also praised the President for his continued investment in the education sector, describing the decision as a demonstration of his “commitment to expanding access to quality, specialized higher education across the country.”

The bill’s sponsor, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, explained that the new institution would focus on science and technology-based disciplines critical to national development. These include Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, and Civil Engineering, as well as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science, all vital to driving Nigeria’s digital transformation and knowledge economy.
