Brief History about UNIABUJA
The institution began operations at a makeshift location known as the “mini-campus” in Gwagwalada, which consisted of three blocks of buildings intended for a primary school. After the university began operations on the mini-campus in 1990, it was given a large parcel of land along the Abuja city Airport route, totaling about 11,800 hectares (29,000 acres), for the construction of its main campus.
Up till now, relocation to the permanent location has been ongoing. Thousands of students are currently housed in three female and two male hostels on campus. However, the university’s headquarters for distance learning are situated in the Abuja municipality (Area 3 Garki), which is also the location of the program’s contact sessions.
