Step-by-Step Guides on How to Process and Collect MAPOLY ND and HND Certificates

A Brief Overview of MAPOLY

The term “MAPOLY” is often used to represent "Moshood Abiola Polytechnic", an Ogun State government-owned polytechnic situated in Ojere Abeokuta, Ogun State.

In Abeokuta, the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, originally known as the Ogun State Polytechnic, was founded in January 1979.

Brigadier Harris Eghagha had the original proposal for the Polytechnic, but Chief Olabisi Onabanjo's administration saw it through.

As a result, the now-defunct House of Assembly passed the "Ogun State Polytechnic Act No. 8 of 1980," which outlined the institution's founding, incorporation, constitution, and functions.

The Polytechnic was renamed Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, when Chief MKO Abiola, its greatest patron, passed away in 1998.

The Law of the Polytechnic was subsequently revoked as a result, and a new law known as the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Edict of May 1999 was enacted.

MAPOLY has five (5) schools (Schools of Environmental Studies, Business & Management Studies, Engineering, Communication & Information Technology, and Science & Technology) and over twenty-five (25) departments, apart from other specialized centres of excellence that oversee other categories of academic and skills development programmes.
