Professor Mohammed S. Abdulkadir

It is with much pleasure and delight on behalf of the entire community of the Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State that I welcome you to our University.

Since establishment in 1999 by the former governor of the state Late Prince Abubakar Audu, the University has continued to make giant strides in learning, teaching and research after academic activities started as far back as April, 2000.

As a University, we are persistently committed to and driven by excellence because we know that to stay relevant we must consistently recognize what we must do better. Located in the beautiful heartland of the Igala community, the University boasts of very fine academic scholars across disciplines.

The University currently houses six faculties which are Faculties of Agriculture, Arts and Humanities, Law, Management Sciences, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences. The University recently added the establishment of Faculty of Medicine with extensive office and laboratory complexes.

Our Centre for Pre-Degree and Diploma Studies was established to administer diploma and pre-degree programmes for students to gain admission into the degree programme if they are successful in the internal exams and other qualifying exams.

Kogi State University is fast becoming the University of first choice for students seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria particularly in the North Central Zone.

On behalf of the Management of the University, I welcome you again to the University driven by Knowledge for Self Reliance.
