The Benue State Polytechnic was originally established by the Edict No. 13 of August 1976 by the military administration of Col. Abdulahi Shelleng. Invariably, it was established, barely a year after Benue State was created. As a young and enterprising state, there was the need to train the needed man-power for the socio-economic and technological take-off of this “young state”. The maiden name of the Institution was “Murtala College of Arts, Science and Technology”. It was initially situated in Makurdi.

It started off in February, 1977 with an admission of 250 students who were mainly for preparatory courses for entry into the universities. The actual courses leading to the award of Ordinary and Higher National Diplomas began in the 1977/1978 academic year with 143 students reading in the only three Departments.
