HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF RECTEM

The Redeemer's College of Technology and Management (RECTEM) was borne out of the vision of the General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye early in 2015, to have two world class Tertiary Institutions in the field of Science, Engineering and that will provide sound middle level and higher technical education, as well as, the required knowledge and infrastructure for technological innovation that will be channeled into our national development process. This vision was shared with the then Assistant General Overseer (Administration/ Personnel) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Johnson F. Odesola who was also the Pastor in charge, Region 1. A blueprint was prepared by the Steering Committee set up to midwife the establishment of the Redeemer's College of Technology and Management (RECTEM), being the first of the two envisioned world class institutions. This was followed by series of reports which was commissioned and submitted to the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for assessment and approval purpose. These painstaking efforts culminated in the approval by the Federal Government and issuance of operating license for RECTEM to commence on 3rd September, 2018.
