Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has that no-nonsense vibe—pure focus on tech and innovation without all the extras. If you’re hunting for a solid STEM school in Nigeria, FUTMINNA’s lineup feels like it’s built for the future. For the 2026 session, the university’s accredited courses offered total 57 programs across seven schools, all NUC-approved and geared toward hands-on skills that land jobs. No big overhauls this year, but they’ve beefed up AI and sustainable engineering tracks to match Nigeria’s digital shift. Pulled this straight from the FUTMINNA portal as of late 2025, so it’s fresh—no dusty old lists.

FUTMINNA keeps fees reasonable (₦50,000–₦80,000 for undergrads) and dangles scholarships like the FUTA Merit Award (up to ₦40,000) for top scorers. With over 20,000 students and 100% accreditation in core tech programs, it’s the kind of place where your engineering degree actually means something at Shell or Dangote. Here’s the breakdown by school—clean and current.
