The Distinguished PAAU: A History of Academic Excellence

Rooted in the heart of Kogi, Nigeria, the University takes pride in being the state-owned University of Kogi. The institution’s journey began in 1999 when it was established by Prince Abubakar Audu, the then-governor of the state. The name has undergone a series of evolutions, initially known as Kogi State University, before being rechristened as the Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU) in 2002, and finally rebranded once more to Kogi State University in 2003 (KSU). However, regardless of its nomenclature, the institution has consistently maintained its academic rigour and excellence.

Of particular note is the commendable fact that the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) accredits 98% of the courses offered at the University. This is a testament to KSU’s commitment to delivering a high-quality education that meets national and international standards, thus making it a preferred choice for many prospective students across Nigeria and beyond.
