onsequently, Governor Adamu was then “propelled by the burning desire to proffer solution to the subsisting problem of grave dearth in the supply of human endeavour that confronts our young state”.

Accordingly, the Nasarawa State Government organized an education summit on the desirability or otherwise of a State University. The educational summit came out with a conclusion that a Nasarawa State University is not only desirable, but also timely.

The University officially took off for effective academic activities in March 2002, following the appointment of an Interim Administrator (Vice-Chancellor), Professor Adamu Baikie. Today, despite all odds associated with the take-off of the University. The Institution, under the able leadership of Professor Adamu Baikie (CON) and his team, has become a reference point with regard to proper procedure and practice in the University System in Nigeria.

Accordingly, the vision that propelled the establishment of Nasarawa State University is the greatest historical mile-stone in the educational evolution of Nasarawa State and its people.
