The Management and the Governing Council of Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology(OYSCATECH ), Igboora have continued to receive accolades from staff, students, friends of the College and the host communities over the approval granted the institution by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to become a Polytechnic.

Some of the messages read; "great achievement, congratulations to the council, management, staff and students for this great feat". Others include; " this is a good and great news; A very big congratulation to everyone".

The news of the NBTE approval was announced by the Provost of the institution Professor Gbemiga Adewale following the approval granted to the institution by the NBTE to run six additional programmes, in addition to the existing ones. The new programmes are; National Diploma (ND) Mechanical Engineering, (ND), Computer Engineering, (ND) Business Administration, and (ND) Statistics, (ND) Horticultural Technology, and Office Technology and Management.
