Its slogan is "Our Graduates, The Nation's Pride".

The Institute is at Km 2, Oba Adesola Market Road, Igbesa, in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, a local government area with the largest number of industries in Nigeria and many large manufacturing companies.

Its Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, set up in 2007, runs nineteen categorised skills trainings open to students across all schools, and the Career Service Centre, a TETFund-backed unit, was established on 15 July 2024.
