About the University of Nigeria Nsukka

A law to found a university in the Eastern Region of Nigeria was given on 18 May 1955. This date marks the standard beginning of the record of the University of Nigeria, with the implementation of legislation by several Nigerian leaders, motivated mainly by the then Premier of the Eastern Region, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.

One of the first measures taken by the Eastern Nigeria Government towards the performance of its commitment was an invitation to both the United States of America and the United Kingdom to send advisers to help in the planning of the physical and educational aspects of the proposed university.

Under the joint auspices of the Inter-University Council for Higher Education and Overseas and the International Co-operation Administration (now the United States Agency for International Development), J.W. Cook, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter, Dr. John A. Hannah, President of Michigan State University and Dr. Glen L. Taggart, Dean of International Programs at the same university, came to Nigeria in 1958. The team investigated the site at Nsukka and broadly investigated a great combination of factors relevant to the installation of a new university.

The effects of their actions were included in a white paper administered by the Eastern Nigeria Government on 30 November 1958. They had recommended, “that the development of the University of Nigeria established upon the idea of service to problems and needs of Nigeria, is a sensual project and one that should obtain support from any source which could help to make it a sound endeavor”.

A stay in Lagos revealed him to the Yoruba language; by the time he was in college, he had been revealed to different Nigerian cultures and spoke three languages (an asset as president).
