Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti, also known as ABUAD, is a Federal Government-licensed, non-profit private university founded in 2009 by a prominent Nigerian lawyer and philanthropist, Afe Babalola. The university was inaugurated in 2009 by former Nigeria President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. In this post, we will give you all the details you should know about the university’s school fees structure, available courses, and requirements.
Brief History and Location of Afe Babalola University
ABUAD is the only university in Nigeria, which before the issuance of a provisional license by the Federal Government of Nigeria, moved to its permanent site and constructed magnificent College buildings equipped with modern teaching facilities, including an e-learning platform, College Hostels, Staff Quarters within eight months. Impressed with the institution, the National Universities Commission (NUC) described the university as a “miracle, model reference point, and benchmark” for other universities.
ABUAD is located on 130 hectares of land at an altitude of over 1500 feet above sea level in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. It has one main campus, which is located in Ado-Ekiti, situated in the hilly part of the town directly opposite the Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti. The campuses house five undergraduate colleges, a post-graduate school, conference halls, a water processing plan, students and staff accommodation, a teaching hospital for medical students, a sporting facility, and other auxiliary services.
Worthy to note is the university teaching hospital’s success in carrying out notable brain surgery. Afe Babalola Multi-System Hospital had a successful brain operation on a lady who had been complaining of a severe headache on one side of her head for over three years and had been to different medical centers as well as spiritual homes. This is a big feat for ABUAD Multi-System Hospital as they have positively portrayed its capability to solve issues of a brain tumor which had made it no longer needful for Nigerians to travel abroad for the sake of Brain surgery.
