About the Department
The establishment of Moshood Abiola (formerly Ogun State) Polytechnic was necessitated by the Federal Government white paper on National Policy on Education, which declared that: Technical education forms the basis of technological development and as such, a greater proportion of educational expenditure would continually be devoted to technical education by government, both at the Federal and State levels.
Besides, the Ogun State Government believes that the development of technical manpower is one of the reasonable investments that a nation can embark upon in a programme of nation and society transformation. Thus, the Ogun State Polytechnic was established under the provisions of section 3 of the law cited as the Ogun State Polytechnic Law No. 8 of 12 June, 1980 and reviewed as the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Edict, 1999.
The Polytechnic commenced operation on two temporary campuses, namely: Oke-Egunya and Onikolobo. Movement of all departments from the temporary campuses to the permanent site at Ojere started in April 1985 and was completed in March, 1988.
 However, department of Marketing was created then during 1981/82 academic session as a unit under the department of Management studies and the transformation into a full fledge department was completed in 1992 with both ND and HND Programmes. The department was left with only HND Programme as from 1995 after the emergence of Business studies programme at ND LEVEL. However, the ND programme in marketing was re-introduced in 2012 academic session. Ever since, the department has been growing strategically to position its ND/ HND graduates in the schemes of happenings in the labour/business markets.
