The institution was born out of the efforts of the Eastern Region government, under the leadership of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Dr. Azikiwe's vision was to provide high-quality education to Nigerians and foster national unity.
Founding Vision and Mission
The primary mission of UNN was to equip Nigerians with the necessary education to drive the country forward. Dr. Azikiwe envisioned a university that would not only offer excellent academic training but also promote social cohesion and national development.
