The Senate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria, at its 167th Statutory Meeting, held on Wednesday, 25th May, 2005, considered the proposal for the establishment of a School of Management Technology (SMAT) in the University. Consequent upon the Senate approval, the School of Management Technology started as Department of Management Technology in the School of Sciences, with options in Project Management Technology and Transport Management Technology. The first set of students were admitted in 2007, for the two options. In April, 2008, these options were approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) following a resource assessment visit from 9th to 15th December, 2007. In January, 2010 the Department of Management Technology metamorphosed into the School of Management Technology, while its options (Project Management Technology and Transport Management Technology) became full-fledged Departments. In June, 2010, the two pioneering Departments in the School were given full accreditation by the National Universities Commission (NUC). In November, 2011, the Department of Entrepreneurship Management Technology was established, with approval after the NUC’s Verification visit of May, 2012. In October, 2015, the National Universities Commission (NUC) approved the establishment of three new Departments (Accounting, Business Administration and Economics) following the Resource Verification exercise that took place in September, 2015. At present, the School of Management Technology has six Departments (Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Entrepreneurship Management Technology, Project Management Technology and Transport Management Technology). The School is regarded as the fastest growing School in the University. The vision is to make the School the best School of Management Technology in Nigeria.
