The School, founded in 1954 in Lagos was relocated to Jos in 1978 and academic activities commenced same year at its temporary location along Murtala Mohammed Way. The contract for the building of a permanent site was awarded in 1983, unfortunately, the gigantic project had been abandoned.

Since its establishment, the institution got its legal backing under the leadership of the current Provost, Dr. Etukudoh in 2018. However, no take-off grant has been given to the institution.
