The Bola Ige Mechatronics Institute, BIMI, prides itself as one of Africa’s best mechatronics schools, with none of its kind in Nigeria or sub-Saharan Africa.

Recently, over 30 Osun indigenes were sent to Germany for a two-month intensive training in May of 2014 by the Rauf Aregbesola led administration.

Thereafter, the government of Osun in partnership with a foreign agency and support from the National Automotive Council, established the multimillion naira mechatronics institute.

The institute has three computerised mechanical workshops for assembly and repair of various types of automobiles.
