The
Imo State University (IMSU) in
Owerri,
Imo State,
Nigeria was established in 1981 through law No. 4 passed by the Imo State House of Assembly.
[1] The university admitted the first intake of 392 pioneer students on October 23, 1981.
[2] After the creation of
Abia State in 1991, the
Uturu campus of the university became the
Abia State University.
Imo State University is a fully functional University. Most of the
programmes of the University have obtained full accreditation from
National Universities Commission of Nigeria.
The result of the 1999/2000 accreditation exercise of the National
Universities Commission confirmed that high rate and acceptance of the
University by the Nigerian public. The University was ranked 1st among
all State Universities in Nigeria and the 10th overall among both State
and Federal Universities. The University scored 100% in 2006 and 2007
accreditation visit, with all programmes visited getting accreditation.
Five years after being formally commissioned, by 2009 the Imo State
University Teaching Hospital had failed to produce reasonable services
of moderately acceptable standards.
A report in February 2009 said that decaying infrastructure, endless
workers strike and admission scandals were threatening to kill the
University, once rated among the best ten in Nigeria. The vice
chancellor and the university bursar had been suspended by the Imo State
government, embarrassed by the extent of the admission scam.
