I had some troubles initially with the fees, but received a scholarship grant, and so I made it; I finally made it to IIT.

IIT Lagos
Being a student of IIT is like a dream come true. Even though I am on a scholarship, I still find it hard to survive. But I go to school everyday filled with hope. It is part of the things you get when you are in IIT, Hope.

Conduct and Safety Policies
Overview
Policy Summary
At the Institute for Industrial Technology (IIT) Lagos, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, safety, inclusion, and responsibility in everything we do. As a leading technical vocational education and training (TVET) institution with over 25 years of experience, IIT empowers school leavers (aged 16–23), tertiary graduates, and working professionals through practical, industry-driven programmes in electromechanics, mechatronics, plant maintenance, renewable energy, and related technologies.
These policies reflect our core values and support our mission of transforming lives while preparing competent, ethical, and responsible technicians for Nigeria’s industrial sector. They apply to all students, trainees, staff, contractors, partners, and visitors. We regularly review and communicate these policies to foster a culture of accountability, respect, and continuous improvement.

All doors in the institute are see-through doors (with glass panels) to foster openness
CCTV Cameras in public areas within the premises
Designated Safeguarding Leads available for confidential advice and support (student affairs office and website feedback form)
Clear procedures for reporting, investigation, and timely intervention (panel investigation)
We encourage every member of the IIT community to speak up and contribute to a safe learning space where trainees can focus on building technical skills and personal values without fear.
Report a Concern
If you have a safeguarding or bullying issue, please contact the Student Affairs Officer or use our confidential reporting channels.

Anti-Bullying Policy
Creating a Respectful Environment
IIT is committed to a positive, supportive learning atmosphere free from all forms of bullying, harassment, intimidation, or victimisation — whether physical, verbal, cyber, or relational.
Why It Matters
A bullying-free environment is essential for our trainees, especially young school leavers, to develop confidence, teamwork, and the interpersonal skills required for successful industrial careers in mechanical, electrical, automation, and maintenance fields.

If you experience or witness bullying, report it immediately to the Student Affairs Officer or Advisor. All reports are taken seriously and handled confidentially.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Our Pledge
IIT upholds the highest standards of honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct in all operations. We strictly prohibit bribery, corruption, facilitation payments, kickbacks, or any form of improper advantage.
Scope Key Measures
This policy covers all staff, students, contractors, suppliers, industry partners, and visitors involved in admissions, assessments, procurement, placements, and collaborations.
Key Measures
Full compliance with Nigerian anti-corruption laws and international best practices
Regulated gifts and hospitality to avoid conflicts of interest (all gifts given to staff related to assignment in IIT, must be disclosed to the Human Resources officer department)
IIT does not offer kick-backs in order to skew the bidding process.
Regular awareness training and robust internal controls (staff development programme)
By maintaining integrity, we ensure fair access to quality technical education and efficient use of resources in support of our mission to bridge Nigeria’s skills gap and empower youths.
Speak Up
Any suspected breach should be reported through our whistleblowing channels (the Director’s office, Human Resource Office, website feedback section, Suggestion Box) without fear of reprisal.
Diversity and Inclusion
Our Commitment
IIT fosters Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with respect to the identity of the Institute by valuing differences in ethnicity, religion, socio-economic background, age, ability, and perspective.
Focus Areas
(with respect to the nature of the programme and available infrastructure).
Equal opportunities for participation and success in all programmes
Removal of barriers and reasonable accommodations for diverse needs
Promotion of fairness, mutual respect, and cultural sensitivity
While our Mission Programmes primarily support urban male youths aged 16–23 to address youth unemployment and poverty, our General Programmes are open to a broader range of graduates and workers. We integrate inclusion principles into teaching, assessment, and daily campus life.
Benefits
This approach enriches technical training, strengthens teamwork in multicultural industrial settings, and prepares graduates to contribute responsibly to Nigeria’s diverse workforce.
Get Involved
We welcome feedback (see website feedback section) on how to further strengthen diversity and inclusion at IIT with respect to our identity.
