The University of Nigeria, commonly
referred to UNN, is a Federal University located in Nuskka, Enugu State,
Nigeria. Founded in 1955 and formally opened on 7th October 1960, the
University of Nigeria has four campuses-Nuskka, Enugu and
Ituku-Ozalla-Located in Enugu State and one in Aba, Abia State Nigeria.
The

A
law to establish a university in the Eastern Region of Nigeria was
passed on may 18, 1955 while that date marks the formal beginning of the
history of the university of Nigeria, the enactment of this legislation
by several Nigeria leaders, and inspired particularly by then premier
of the Eastern Region, Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe. One of the first steps taken
by Eastern Nigeria Government towards the implementation of its
commitment was an invitation to both the United States of American and
the United Kingdom to send advisers to help in the planning of physical
structures and educational aspects of the proposed university.
Under
the joint auspices of the inter overseas and the international Education
Administration (now the United States Agency for international the
Development). J.W. Cook, Vice Chancellor of the University of Exacter,
Dr. John A Hannah, President of Michigan state university and Dr. Glen
L. Taggart, Dean of International programmers at the same university
came to Nigeria in 1958. The team surveyed the site at Nsukka, and
extensively investigated a great variety of factors pertinent to the
establishment of a new university.
The result of their efforts were
contained in a while paper issued by the Eastern Nigeria Government on
30 November 1958. They had recommended “that the development of the
University of Nigeria based upon the concept of service to problems and
needs of Nigeria is a desirable project and one that should receive
support from any source which could help to make it a sound Endeavourâ€.
They further recommended that a provisional council be established to “draw upon the technical and consultative
Resource
available throughout the world to help in planning the institution†the
provisional council authorized by the Eastern Nigeria legislature, was
appointed by the Governor in council in April 1959, and given necessary
financial and administrative powers to build a sound university. it
reflected the spirit of international co-operation which has given birth
to the institution. it consisted of Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe. Dr. T. Olawale
Elias and Dr. Okechukw Ikejiani from the federation of Nigeria, J.S.
Fulton from the United Kingdom, Dr. Marguertu Cartwright and Dr. Eldon
Lee Jonson from the United State of American.
