The Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, originally the Federal University of Agriculture, is a federal university in Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria[2] was established as a specialized University by a Federal Government of Nigeria Decree No 48 of November 1992. It began formal activities in May 1993 with the appointment of the first Council and Vice-Chancellor Professor Placid C. Njoku on 27 May 1993, while other key officials of the University were appointed later.[3]
The first set of students were admitted into the institution during the 1993/94 academic year with a student population of 82.
The nickname "Umudykes" or "U'dykers" is used for students, alumni, and sports teams of the university.[4]
Vice-Chancellor Professor Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe has hinted that the university will start engaging in commercial farming to support its internal generated revenues and better prepare the students for a complex and unpredictable future.[5]
