Federal Polytechnic Offa is situated in a strategic location located approximately 6.5 kilometers from Offa Town Centre.

Following the polytechnic establishment in 1992, a task force that will ensure the proper administration of the institution was set up by the then late Olofa of Offa Oba Mustapha Olawoore Olanipekun Ariwajoye II, which comprises members like Chairman Alhaji Tiamiyu Olatinwo, Chief Ayotunde Raji as secretary, and six other members.
The task force operated the administration of the institution until 2000, when the first Governing Council was set up, marking the first administration of the Governing Council in Federal Polytechnic Offa.
