The University of Uyo is located in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The university was formerly known as the University of Cross River State, Uyo.[1]
On 1 October 1991, the Federal government of Nigeria established it as a Federal University and the name was changed to the University of Uyo. The university inherited students, staff, academic programmes and the entire facilities of the erstwhile University of Cross River State established by Cross River State in 1983. It must be placed on record that what is today the University of Uyo passed through several metamorphoses. It grew from a Teacher's College (TC) to an Advanced Teacher's College (ATC), College of Education (COE), which became an affiliate of the University of Port Harcourt to run degree programmes at a State University, University of Cross River (UNICROSS), and then to its present status in 1991.
Academic activities commenced during the 1991/92 academic session. The University of Uyo has 13 faculties, the postgraduate school and the school of Continuing Education.[2]
Professor Enefiok Essien is the immediate past Vice-Chancellor.[3] In 2015 the Emir of Hadejia, Adamu Maje was appointed Chancellor.[4]
Professor Nyaudoh Ukpabio Ndaeyo emerged as the 8th substantive Vice Chancellor of the University of uyo in 2020. [5]
