Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology
The Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology is a higher education institute located on Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria.[2] The College was originally known as the Federal School of Fisheries, established in 1969 as a vocational training institute for Nigeria's in-shore fishing fleet.[1] In February 2009, Samuel Azikwe Zelibe, former head of the Fisheries Department of Delta State University, was appointed provost.In January 2010, the provost warned that despite the N74 million government allocation and a N37.4 million World Bank grant last year, the college had scarcely enough funding to cover basic needs, let alone upgrade facilities and purchase a training vessel.Two years later, waves had reached to within a few meters of the foundation of the buildings, forcing construction of a protective groyne.
