HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
NASARAWA STATE UNIVERSITY, KEFFI, Was established under the Nasarawa State Law No. 2 of 2001 (see 2.2) as passed by the State House of Assembly. The University came into existence under the visionary and dynamic administration of Governor. (Dr) Abdullahi Adamu (Sarkin Yakin Keffi, Aare Obateru of the source, Ile-Ife), the first democratically elected Governor of Nasarawa State.
The aim of establishing the University was, fundamentally, to provide an avenue for the indigenes of Nasarawa State to pursue and acquire University education, which in the long run, will prepare the graduates and equip them with adequate skills needed for the development of the state and the country at large. Consequently, Governor Adamu was then “propelled by the burning desire to proffer solution to the subsisting problem of grave dearth in the supply of human endeavor that confronts our young state”.
Accordingly, the Nasarawa State Government organized an education summit on the desirability or otherwise of a State University. The educational summit came out with a conclusion that a Nasarawa State University is not only desirable, but also timely. Furthermore, Governor Abdullahi Adamu had also, in the last quarter of 1999, set out a Technical Advisory Committee of experts on tertiary education to, among other things, advise Government on the feasibility or otherwise, as well as modus operandi for the setting up of a State University. Precisely the terms of reference given to the committee are:
To establish appropriate links with the National Universities Commision and the Federal Ministry of Education with a view to obtaining guidelines on the establishment of the Universities in the country;
To identify the institutional structure for the take-off of the proposed State University either as a multi-campus or a single campus University;
To identify the initial infrastructural facilities required on the advised campus/campuses
To identify the immediate staffing requirements of the said University both in terms of academic and non-academic staff.
To determine the total financial out-lay that may be required for the successful take-off of the University; and
To make any recommendation(s) that are contingent for realizing this dream project.
