BRIEF HISTORY

On October 18, 2000, at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State at the time, Arc (Obong) Victor Attah inaugurated the Committee for the Establishment of Akwa Ibom State University of Technology.

The committee was mandated to identify, propose and establish a university whose curriculum and practical interventions would align directly with the industrial and technological aspirations of its owner State.

The committee set to work and identified disciplines and specific bodies of scientific and technological knowledge reflecting the resource endowments of the State which R&D activities in the university would address as a matter of priority. That mandate evolved into the establishment of AKUTECH, a project which has been embraced by the current Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong (Barr) Godswill Akpabio leading to the enactment of the University Law on September 15, 2009 by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

At conception, the University was to be located within Akwa Ibom State's Technology Triangle at the so-called University Town. However, the current administration of the Akwa Ibom State Government have successfully changed the enabling law of the university into a multi-campus Institution with the Main Campus situated at Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin L.G.A and satellite campuses situated at Obio Akpa, Oruk Anam L.G.A and Afaha Nsit, Etinan L.G.A.

The vision and strategic goals of the university have also been modified by the present administration of the State Government in order to transform the University into a conventional university whose focus is not just Technology and Applied Science but also Arts.

In line with this proposed transformation, there have been some attempts at changing the name of the Institution from Akwa Ibom State University of Technology (AKUTECH) to Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU). However, this change is yet to be ratified by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.
