The polytechnic is situated within Oko town in Orumba North Local Government of Anambra State.
The kernel of what eventually became the polytechnic was the brainchild of the Oko Progressive Union, greatly catalyzed by the patronage, resourcefulness, and result-oriented leadership of its pioneer chairman, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, a former Executive Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The institution is strategically located and surrounded by several centers of industries, commerce, and diverse local crafts such as Awka (well known for blacksmith/iron works), Nnewi (Industry and technological products), and Onitsha and Aba (reputed for Commerce and Industries).
The climatic condition of the host community, Oko, ranges between 28 and 42 degrees centigrade.
It is one of Nigeria’s fastest-developing tertiary institutions and holds a functional memorandum of understanding with different universities within and outside the country. The Polytechnic has three campuses.
- The main campus at Oko occupies a total land area of 89 hectares.
- Ufuma campus: This occupies a total land area of 52 hectares.
- Atani campus: This occupies a total area of 40 hectares.
