The institute, originally established as the Nigerian Navy Technical Training Centre (NNTTC) in 1982, is poised for a significant transformation into a polytechnic. This change reflects the institution's commitment to enhancing its educational offerings and aligning with the evolving demands of technology and engineering sectors in Nigeria.

As a pivotal component of the Nigerian Navy’s Research and Development initiatives, the institute has played a crucial role in training personnel and advancing technological capabilities within the naval forces. The transition to a polytechnic is expected to broaden its academic programs, allowing for a more diverse curriculum that will cater to a wider range of technical and vocational disciplines.

This evolution aims to foster innovation and support the nation’s strategic objectives in security and defense. By equipping students with practical skills and advanced knowledge, the institute will contribute significantly to the development of a skilled workforce capable of addressing contemporary challenges in maritime and defense technologies.
