The Ministry was created in February 2004 by the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu from what used to be the Office of Special Adviser on Information Technology and Special Services.

It was upgraded to a full-fledged Ministry with wider scope and focus in order to improve the state of science and technology in the state. Consequently, all the projects undertaken by the previous office were automatically subsumed in the Ministry since they still fall within the ambit of Science and Technology.
