Apostolic Faith Mission

The Apostolic Faith Mission was founded by the late Rev. (Mrs) Florence Louise Crawford in 1906 in the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon. A branch of the church was founded in Nigeria in 1944 by the late Rev. Timothy Gbadebo Oshokoya.
The church has its international headquarters in Portland, with regional headquarters in Europe, Asia and Africa. In Africa, the church is headed by the Africa Overseer (or Superintendent for Africa) who is based in Lagos, Nigeria. The present Africa Overseer is Reverend Emmanuel Adebayo Adeniran, who is also the proprietor of Crawford University.
The Africa headquarters, situated at Anthony Village, Lagos, is responsible for the administration of all branch churches in the continent. Each country, where the church exists, is headed by a country overseer (or district superintendent). Any country or branch church within the country is financially self-supporting.
The Apostolic Faith is a fundamentalist, trinitarian and evangelistic church. The church's mission is to pray, preach and publish and thereby enable millions of lost humanity know Christ and His redemptive power. The church is a non-profit organization financed through voluntary tithes and offerings from members.

History

The Church believes that the tripod of righteousness, resourcefulness and prayerfulness is a time-tested platform on which the true greatness of many nations had been built. The mooring for this notion is the eternal verity - “Righteousness exalts a nation”.
The ministry of Apostolic faith under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Paul Akazue considered the Nigerian Government's then deregulation of education policy as a golden opportunity for the Church to participate in the upgrading of educational standards in the country, by establishing her own educational institutions. The Church realized that education is a social service which cannot be financed purely on a sustainable basis with students' fees, hence they undertook the venture, simply because the Church believes that she has a sacred and patriotic duty to lend a helping hand to alleviate the ills which plague all the tiers of educational delivery in the country (Nigeria).
Crawford University is, therefore, a bold attempt by the Church to diversify into the third tier of education. The effort is geared towards producing graduates with moral excellence, self-confidence, inventive dynamism, and creativity. The Church believes that such graduates will be able to generate for themselves and the society in general, meaningful solutions to unemployment and other pressing manpower needs of the nation.
Crawford University received the operating licence from the Federal Government of Nigeria on the 9th of June, 2005.
The University was opened to the first batch of students on 30 September 2005. After one week of Orientation, lectures commenced on 10 October 2005. The first Matriculation Ceremony was conducted by the then Proprietor and Chancellor, Rev. (Dr.) Paul Akazue for the 235 pioneer students on 20 December 2005. The first graduation ceremony was held in 2009.^[1]

Goals and objectives

Crawford University describes its "overriding aim" as being to translate the institution into "a world class tertiary educational institution in the shortest time." Accordingly, its stated goals include:

• Provision of relevant courses of instruction and knowledge in an environment of world class conducive learning facilities;
• Promotion of scholarship and advancement of learning;
• Facilitation and pursuit of relevant research into human problems and their alleviation;
• Contribution to academic, social, cultural and economic development of Nigeria, and the world in general; and
• Undertaking general activities appropriate for a university of high repute in quest to produce well-rounded graduates, who are creative, academically sound, with good morals and the fear of God.

History of the university

Delta State University, Abraka has been historically recorded as a Centre of Education. It started as a Government Teachers’ Training College during the colonial era and some years into the post-colonial era. It became a College of Education that awarded Nigerian Certificate of Education (N.C.E.) from 1971-1985. In 1981, it was affiliated to the University of Benin, Benin City and consequently offered degree programmes from 1981 till 1985 when it became the Faculty of Education of the then Bendel State University with its main campus at Ekpoma. The creation of Edo and Delta States in August 1991 and the conversion of the main campus of the then Bendel State University, Ekpoma to become Edo State University in December 1991, necessitated the establishment of an autonomous Delta State University, Abraka on 30th April, 1992 by the then Executive Governor of the State, Olorogun Felix Ibru.
Delta State University, Abraka started with five Faculties, namely:

• Faculty of Agriculture
• Faculty of Education
• Faculty of Arts
• Faculty of Science and
• Faculty of the Social Sciences.

In 1995, the State Government introduced a policy of having three campuses that should be spread within the three senatorial districts in the State. In view of this policy, three campuses were established to include the main campus in Abraka, Anwai-Asaba Oleh and campuses. Presently, the academic programmes of the University are distributed as follows:

Abraka Campus

• Faculty of Arts
• Faculty of Education
• Faculty of Science
• Faculty of the Social Sciences, and
• College/Faculty of Basic Medical Science

Anwai-Asaba Campus

• Faculty of Agriculture
• Faculty of Management Sciences
• Faculty of Environmental Studies

Moshood Abiola Polytechnic

Moshood Abiola Polytechnic is a tertiary learning institution in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The Ojere campus is in the South-Eastern part of Abeokuta, covering about 960 hectares of rolling land bounded by the Ogun River to the south. It is named after Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, who was elected President of Nigeria in 1993, but prevented from taking office.
The polytechnic was formally established in 1980 as Ogun State Polytechnic during the military administration of Harris Eghagha, but the first set of 220 students was admitted in January, 1979. The Polytechnic started on two temporary campuses, Oke-Egunya and Onikolobo, moving to the Ojere campus between April 1985 and March 1988. By the 2004/2005 session, the student population was 18,878, with about 520 academic and non-academic staff.
In February 2009, Governor Gbenga Daniel authorized reduction of fees at the State-owned polytechnic to N7,000. This followed negotiations with the National Association of Nigeria Students after parents and students had protested recent increases to fees.

Executive Governor Dr Sam Ominyi Egwu has pledged to ensure the full relocation of the university's faculties to the new site before he his tenure expires in May 2007.

For Latest gist,updates and news visit campusflava.com

The institutions's first Vice-Chancellor is Professor Fidelis Ogah.
The university's medical faculty was established in 1991 as ESUT's Faculty of Health Sciences. Many of its facilities were developed in response to a Guinea worm pandemic; the Abakaliki Specialist Hospital, created for this purpose, was remodelled to become Ebonyi State University's primary teaching hospital. It was subsequently granted accreditation by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) for the training of medical students and resident doctors. Since it became part of Ebonyi State University, the medical school has received considerable funding from the Ebonyi government.
Ebonyi state university is located at the capital of Ebonyi state, with four campuses(CAS,CHS,ISIEKE and the Permenite site). What is today known as Ebonyi State University (EBSU), started on July 30, 1980 when the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) was originally founded as Anambra State university of Technology (ASUTECH), by the then Anambra State House of Assembly Law No. 7 of 1980.
In 1985, the ASUTECH Edict No 20 of 1985, created a four campus structure and the Abakaliki Campus, housing Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. Consequently, Abakaliki Campus took off with a pre-science programme and was later enabled to run courses in Agricultural and Basic Basic Medicine Sciences.
When Ebonyi state was carved out from Enugu state on 1 October 1996, the Abakaliki Campus of the then ESUT was upgraded to Ebonyi State University College by the Ebonyi State Edict No of 1998; though remained affiliated to its parent University, ESUT.
The major landmark that launched the University into its present status came in 1999 when Dr Sam O. Egwu, Governor of Ebonyi State announced the upgrading of the University College to a multidisciplinary university and establishing statute received executive consent of His Excellency on January 14, 2000. The university has relocated to the PERM SITE, where faculties like social science,management science and arts are found.

History

Technology centers

In 1980, one of the policy thrusts in education of the civilian government headed by Alhaji Aliyu Shehu Shagari was the creation of new universities of technology. The purpose, as announced by government, was in line with the national policy on education, with respect to technical and scientific training; namely, to develop, at every stage of the education system, a scientific and technological attitude in preparation for the nation's technological take-off. Thus, the states that had no federal universities — Bauchi, Benue, Gongola, Imo, Niger, Ogun and Ondo — became the immediate beneficiaries of this initiative. In the same year three such institutions were named for Bauchi, Benue and Imo. The other four were to commence in 1981. The Federal University of Technology, Akure thus came into being in 1981. By August, the government appointed the pioneer chancellor, HRH Alhaji Zulkarnaini Gambari Mohammed, Emir of lIorin. At that time, a 13-member Governing Council was announced, although the chairman of was not named until October. Late High Chief (Dr) Gabriel Akin-Deko was appointed the pioneer pro-chancellor and chairman of the Governing Council.
On November 19, 1981, late Professor Theodore Idibiye Francis was appointed the vice-chancellor of the new university. Professor Francis had been a renowned professor of medicine at the University of Ibadan medical school (University College Hospital) and later moved to the newly established Institute of Health Sciences of the University of Port Harcourt as foundation provost. From Port Harcourt Francis moved to Akure on January 1, 1982 to begin the work of getting the university on a footing. One of the first things he did was to recruit senior staff with whom to begin the vistas of the foundation work. Thus, after some consultations, Francis appointed Mr. Ayorinde O. Ogunruku, the first senior staff member of the new university (other than his personal driver, Mr. Etim Udoh) as the first administrative officer, on January 12, 1982.

Early problems

When the announcement to establish a university in Ondo was made, it was not immediately clear where it was going to be sited. When eventually Akure was chosen and the site housing the federal polytechnic was decided, it was clear that the new university might encounter some difficulties in getting started. The polytechnic had built and inhabited the site since 1977 when it had been forced by the federal government to move to Akure from its original location in Jos, Plateau State capital. Thus, when the announcement was made locating the university in Akure, the polytechnic authorities were understandably uneasy. When a letter dated 18 December 1981 conveyed the information to the rector that the new university would take over the polytechnic site and his institution was to move, albeit in phases, once again, to a new location in Ado-Ekiti, the undercurrents of agitation excited by the earlier announcement of the establishment of the university boiled over.
It was not surprising that when vice-chancellor Francis arrived in Akure on 1 January 1982 he was given only a room in the establishment wing of the polytechnic as his office. From there, the work of the new university commenced. With the arrival of more staff members and increased activities and the reluctance of the polytechnic authorities to release any more space, negotiations on effecting a smooth transfer commenced in February between the two heads of the institutions. The expected difficulties attending these negotiations compelled the then Minister of Education to inaugurate a meeting of the joint Councils of the institutions on 27 April 1982. In the meantime, however, on account of increased activities and the need to get the many organs of the university system in place before students could resume, the vice-chancellor rented a three-storey building at No. 98, Oyemekun Road in Akure from where all administrative activities were to continue.
The joint Councils negotiation meetings continued and, with the intervention of the Minister of Education, eventually, some six buildings meant for academic activities were released to the university by 25 August 1982. In addition, 13 duplex bungalows, 20 three-bedroom and 15 four-bedroom bungalows and one four-bedroom storey buildings were also released.

The building phase

FUTA Senate Building

While negotiations continued with the polytechnic, the university had set some targets, which had to be met. Academic activities had been scheduled to beginin November 1982, yet much was lacking in terms of facilities. So the university rented three blocks of flats at Oba-lIe to provide residence for the student intake and started construction of a cafeteria, a storey building for staff offices, and laboratories and a block of lecture rooms for the School of Pure and Applied Sciences. The latter was later turned to the staff primary school. Modification work on structures released by the polytechnic commenced.
For the academic activities scheduled for November, vice-chancellor Francis constituted some "Academic Planning Task Forces" to prepare the academic briefs of the three foundation schools: Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Earth and Mineral Sciences, and Pure and Applied Sciences. To continue the work and implementation of the briefs, the official organs of the University were being established. By July 1982, Council had appointed other principal officers and most of these them assumed duties in August.
With the initial core of academics and principal officers in place, Senate, the organ charged with responsibility for academic matters, was then constituted and the body held its inaugural meeting on 27 October 1982 at the Council/Senate Chamber of the University's Temporary Administrative Office at 98, Oyemekun Road. The day/date of the inaugural meeting has been the basis for the tradition of statutory Senate meetings on the last Wednesday of the month. That first Senate included Professor T. I. Francis (vice-chancellor & chairman), Professor D. A. Okorie (head, Department of Chemistry), Professor L. K. Opeke (ag. dean, School of Agriculture & Agricultural Technology) Mr. F. A. Akinyotu (university librarian), late Professor M. O. Olofinboba (dean, School of Pure & Applied Sciences) was absent, Dr. J. A. Osanyinbi (academic registrar) was the secretary. The inaugural meeting of Senate considered the state of readiness for admission of students for academic activities; the draft University Act; Senate Standing Orders, among other issues. Recruitment of academic and other staff was well on course and, by September, some had assumed duties.
On 22 November 1982, FUTA welcomed its first set of students (onto the campus still shared with the polytechnic). Arrangements had been made for their accommodation in a rented block of apartments at Oba-lie, a satellite town some 15 kilometers away. Classroom and laboratory blocks had been prepared; the academic staff that had reported were already sharing a "staff room" of the newly completed wing of the staff primary school. Reconstruction and finishing work were getting other facilities in place for full activities on the campus. Full academic activities commenced on 29 November 1982, after a week of orientation for the students. On 22 January 1983, the university held its first matriculation for 149 students.
At its second meeting on 24 November 1983, Senate elected the first set of four persons to represent it on the university's Governing Council: Professors M. O. Olofinboba, L. K. Opeke, D. A. Okorie and Mr. F. A. Akinyotu. This first set was given a one-year term beginning 10 January 1983. By its eighth meeting on 26 October 1983, Senate received the first set of the university's congregation representatives on that body. The two were Engr. (Dr) S. O. Falaki and Dr. (Mrs.) A. P. O. Dede.

Ranking

4ICU ranks the Federal University of Technology Akure as the 7th best university in Nigeria and the 75th best university in Africa.
The School of Environmental Technology was ranked the best among universities of technology in the country. Prof. Deji Rufus Ogunsemi is the dean of the School of Environmental Technology.
