Ondo State University of Science and Technology, (OSUSTECH), Okitipupa is one of the fastest growing institution in Nigeria, barely 2 years ago, the first set of students were admitted into various academic programmes, since then, two sets have been added making a total of 3 sets (the 100, 200, and 300 level students).
OSUSTECH is one of the few schools that has a high priority for entrepreneurship and skills development, also sites a farm and several industries where various produce and products are being fetched out daily, due to its zero tolerance for corruption and cultism, it has been lauded by some monarchs, scholars and organizations within and outside the state, and has been allowed to operate in the environment where its been sited.

Presently, its a season of joy for the students and staff of the great institution as the accreditation team of NUC will be visiting them by Monday 25th of February for the full accreditation for all the programmes available, an event which may last for 10-14 days, while waiting for this, the previous weeks had been full of activities ranging from installations of various facilities and the cleaning of the environment which is a custom earlier on, the management and staffs were all putting on their efforts in order to make the exercise a success, the students are not also left out, they are been asked to comport themselves and be good ambassadors of their school, to dress properly and avoid any anti-social activities during and after the exercise.
