The Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology assumed its present status as a full-fledged technological institution in 1992. Before then the College was known as the Federal School of Fisheries which was established in 1969 as a vocational training institute to address the manpower requirement of Nigeria’s fledging in-shore fleet.
The phenomenal growth of the Nigerian fisheries sector over the years gave rise to a corresponding need to generate a higher level of indigenous expertise to service the core and ancillary segments of the sector. Training presently has gone beyond this initial reason for establishing this institution. Courses on Cargo handling, Naval Architecture, Navigation etc have made it possible for grandaunts to seek careers in the lucrative maritime sector of the economy mostly in Tankers and other sea going vessels.
