CHAPTER ONE

  1. INTRODUCTION

Prior to the establishment of Institute of Management and Technology Enugu, there existed till 1967 a collage of technology up to the Ordinary Diploma Level. An institution of administration which provides short in-service training courses for civil servants of various grade and a cooperative collage which offered a certificate course in cooperative studies to cooperative inspector from the ministry of industry, trend and cooperative.

These institutions were separate and separately located.

The college of technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was controlled directly by that ministry. Similarly, the Institute of Administration was controlled by the Ministry of Establishment, while the cooperative collage was directly under the ministry of Rural Development.

All these institutions were staffed by civil servants who were posted and reposted from one department to another according to the needs of civil services.

After 1970 however, there arose  the need for higher institution of learning to upgrade the training in the technological and managerial fields in which there were server need for man power development. The future graduates in the technology and management and their allied field would be more effective by functional training than the institute of administrations.
