A BRIFE HISTORY OF ADAMAWA STATE UNIVERSITY

Since 2002 when Adamawa State University,
Mubi was established, the Institution has been
striving to meet the stated goal of providing
“Education for Development”. However, the
University is concerned with its commitment to
the immediate environment, mindful of our
position as a tertiary Institution of learning with
universal responsibilities. We are therefore
working towards establishing a world class
University that addresses our local problems
within the context of intellectualism that is broad
based and international in outlook. We have
therefore defined our purpose, as a citadel of
learning geared towards achieving the ideals of
developing academic and professional abilities of
our staff and students, to give them competitive
advantage in an ever changing world. Our focus
is now geared towards Agriculture, which is the
main stay of our people and ICT which is the
future path to human development. Ours is a
commitment to development within the context
of present realities and the expectation of the
future. In this brief brochure we have attempted
to present some of the necessary information that
will be helpful in making informed decisions on
matters relating to our triple Information
Brochuremandate of Teaching, Research and
Community services. It gives you a brief on our
uniqueness as a very promising University located
in a serene, peaceful and accommodating
environment. Title Caption – Adamawa State
University (ADSU): Towards ensuring rapid
development and transformation of the State.
Background – Adamawa State with a population
of about 2.5 million, has a land area of 42,159 sq.
km located within the Savannah belt of Northern
Nigeria. The State has enormous agricultural
potentials including livestock and fisheries.
Location of University – Adamawa State University
is located in Mubi, the headquaters of the North
Senetorial District of the State, which was once a
constituent of the German Territory of Northern
Cameroun. Mubi town was the provincial capital
of the erstwhile sardauna province. The town is
situated at the foot of the Mansara Mountains
separating Nigeria from the Republic of
Cameroun. The town has a pleasant weather and
scenic horizons. There is a rich traditional culture
of the local peoples, with a paramount first class
traditional ruler, the Emir of Mubi. Why Adamawa
State University? The State has continued to
make steady progress in the area of enrollment of
pupils in primary and secondary schools. The
University is intended to provide additional places
for the increasing number of students seeking
admission, which currently is not being
adequately met by Federal Universities located in
the country’s North Eastern geopolitical zone.
However, the state is endowed with abundant
natural and mineral resources. Financial capital
and suitably trained manpower are key
requirements for harnessing the enormous
resource potentials of the State. ADSU shall not
only produce the desired manpower possessing
requisite skills and orientation, but shall itself be
fully engaged in extension delivery and service to
the community. The University shall promote true
liberal scholarship and pursue national and
international collaboration and linkages with other
institutions for all its programmes. The assistance
of philanthropists, non- governmental agencies,
National, International, and multi-lateral
organizations etc. shall be courted and jealously
guarded.
