History

The university's origins trace to the Industrial Training Center (1), founded in March 1993. In November 1995, it became a Government Technological Institute (GTI), offering two-year diplomas on vocational studies. In October 1999, the school was "upgraded" to a Government Technological College (GTC), offering three-year Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programs, and again in January 2007 to the Technological University level, offering bachelor's degree programs in Engineering and Architecture and master's degree programs in Engineering.

It is part of a number of formerly two-year schools that have been promoted to university level in recent years. The military government
