In 1951, with a mandate from the Holy See during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, three members of the Order of Preachers, Fathers Edward Lawton, Michael Dempsey and Arthur Kinsella arrived in Lagos, Nigeria from Chicago, Illinois, the United States of America for the foundation of the Order in Nigeria. Their mission was to establish and administer a Catholic Prefecture in Sokoto, northern Nigeria, the Prefecture that is today’s Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, covering today’s Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Katsina States of Nigeria. Upon their arrival in Lagos, and prior to their going to Sokoto, Archbishop Leo Taylor of Lagos asked them to take charge of St Patrick’s Church (later renamed St Dominic’s) in Yaba, Lagos. While in Lagos, Dominicans already ran a Thomistic Institute introducing young Nigerians to the thought of Thomas Aquinas. That served as a good preparation what would later become an engagement with Nigerian intellectuals.
The Dominican University opened her doors to her pioneer students with an inaugural Mass on October 2, 2017.
In a letter dated June 10, 2020 and addressed to the Vice Chancellor, the National Universities Commission informed the University that, having successfully passed through its probational stage, she now has a full statutory licence.
