About Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU).

The establishment and planning of Akwa Ibom State University started in October 2000, when the State Government inaugurated a Committee for the establishment of this academic institution.

The Committee which was inaugurated by the Akwa Ibom state government consisted of academics, technical experts and professionals. These experts in their various fields submitted an interim report to the then state Governor in April 2001 and submitted a final report in September 2001.

The report submitted by the University Establishment Committee was accepted by the State Government. Fast-forward to December 2001, the state government set up an Implementation Committee to oversee the necessary basic functions including the drafting of the enabling law towards the creation of the university.

The Bill which established Akwa Ibom State University of Technology (AKUTECH) was passed by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly and signed into law by the then Executive Governor of the State, Arc. (Obong) Victor Attah on the 16th of April, 2003.

Although the philosophy of a technically-biased university was retained, the new governor of Akwa-Ibom state, His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Godswill Obot Akpabio felt that the policy thrust of the Government should be the establishment of a conventional, multi-campus institution. This belief was the reason the name of the university was changed from Akwa Ibom State University of Technology (AKUTECH) to Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU).

The bill which establishing Akwa Ibom State University from Akwa Ibom State University of Technology (AKUTECH) was signed into law by His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Godswill Obot Akpabio, the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom in September 2010.
