The Federal College of Education (Technical), Omoku, Rivers State of Nigeria is one of the Federal Colleges of Education (Technical) established by Act No. 4 of 1986 of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Act No.6 of 1993 amended the Act. The highlight of the amendment is the appointment of Principal Officers by tenure.

 The College took-off in April 1989 at the temporary site provided by the Rivers State Government of Nigeria with the appointment of the pioneer Provost, Chief E.G. Toby. The temporary site was the premises of a Teacher Training College that had been phased out.

A permanent site for the College was acquired in 1997 and work commenced on the development of the site in 1998. The Schools of Vocational Education and Science Education have moved to the new site. It is hoped that other Schools will gradually be relocated to the permanent site and students’ hostels and recreation facilities established there.

Sowande who acted as Provost till 1998 when he was appointed Provost, Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka, Lagos. He is now retired. In 1998 Prof. A.M. Wokocha(JP) assumed office in the College as Provost but resigned in 2005 to assume duties as Provost, Rivers State College of Education, Port-Harcourt.
