About Us

http://www.unizik.edu.ng/about us.htm

HISTORY Nnamdi Azikiwe University came into being as an off-shoot of the defunct Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH). ASUTECH, established by the Anambra State University of Technology statute, operated as a multi-campus University, with Campuses in Abakaliki and Enugu –in what is now Enugu State– and Awka and Nnewi –in what is now Anambra State. Following the split of the former Anambra State into two States –Anambra and Enugu States– the Awka and Nnewi Campuses of the former Anambra State University of Technology, were by the Anambra State Edict No. 5 of November 26, 1991, constituted into Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The Edict upheld Awka and Nnewi as Campuses of the University. The University was taken over by the Federal Government with effect from July 15, 1992. The Rt. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Owelle of Onitsha, after whom the University is named was in the vanguard of the fight against colonialism in Africa and was the doyen of the independence struggle in Nigeria. Believing in the use of education as a veritable tool in the liberation struggle and in the enthronement of the “dignity of man,” he founded the first autonomous Nigerian University. His choice of a name for that University – the University of Nigeria – is an eloquent testimony to his belief in and commitment to Nigerian unity. The Rt. Hon. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was the first indigenous Governor-General of Nigeria and its first President. The University is proud to be named after this renowned statesman and will remain true to the ideals which inspired him.
