Institute of Management and Technology Enugu

The Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu came into existence under the then East Central State of Nigeria Edict No 10 of 1973 promulgated by the Administrator of East Central State – Ajie Ukpabi Asika. Prior to the establishment of this great institute, in existence were the College of Technology which offered courses in Engineering and Laboratory Technology leading to the award of Ordinary Diploma; the Institute of Administration which provided short in-service training of various grades; and the Co-operative College which offered a certificate course in Co-operative Studies to Co-operative inspectors from the ministry.

These institutions were autonomous and were located differently. The College of Technology was part of and controlled by the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Establishments controlled the Institute of Administration while the Co-operative College was directly under the Ministry of Rural Development.
All these institutions were staffed by civil servants who were posted there from the Ministry and could be re-posted to other departments or units according to the demands of the Civil Service.
