The  Olusegun  Obasanjo Centre for  Engineering Innovation (OOCEI), established as a copy technology centre for the manufacturing of models and prototypes, was formally commissioned on May 16,2003 by the former Minister of Education. It is a Centre-of-Excellence project established by the Education Tax Fund (ETF) in 2002 with the following broad objectives:

(i) Information Communication Technology: for business located 50km radius of the campus and internet service provider i.e. putting the polytechnic community on to the window of  global communication and also enabling the polytechnic operate its own website in aid of academic research, computer training, computer assembly and maintenance.

(ii) Engineering Innovation: involving the direct production of consumables, glasswares and engineering tools through manufacturing adaptive innovation and copy technology of  simple tools or parts. The Centre, which has already ventured among others into the assembly of tractors, high-grade voltage regulators and computers, is also to serve as an avenue for students to imbibe practical industrial experience.

(iii) Engineering Research: The well equipped laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment and instruments will support various research projects and quality control in food, drinks and flour milling businesses.

(iv) Technology Incubation Centre: The centre, with its vast engineering base, is well disposed to the development of the equipment needed by clients of various small-scale industries (from nursery through actual implementation).

(v) Training: Industries and private enterpreneurs can take advantage of our proven facilities to train their staff in the areas of skill acquisition, on-line problem-solving and industrial management
