The Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna has identified non-inclusion of foundational mechatronics subjects in the educational curriculum at all levels as one of the challenges facing innovative and creative thinking among Nigerians. This, according to the university, is evident in the fact that almost every task is done manually within the country. It believes system automation is an integral part of the development of any nation. In a bid to bridge this gap, the university created a new School (faculty) of Information and Communication Technology (SICT).
