University college of ibadan was founded in 1947 and was made a federal university in 1963 then renamed University if ibadan. University of nigeria nsukka is the first federal and pioneer university in Nigeria. She was founded in 1960. This isn't a tribalistic thread. Table your arguments |

gbanikiti: University college of ibadan was founded in 1947 and was made a federal university in 1963 then renamed University if ibadan. University of nigeria nsukka is the first federal and pioneer university in Nigeria. She was founded in 1960. Going by your argument then Fourah Bay College will not be regarded as the first university in West Africa. 1 Like |

This inferiority complex is really rooted deep in many Igbo psychic. No wonder someone once said no matter how educated an Igbo man is, he will never stop feeling inferior. Everything to these people is measuring dicks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Well, the OP said first federal university. I see many potential flunks for exams such as the SAT. Ibadan was the first university in Nigeria, of course. It was created by the colonial administration in 1948 and the indigenized shortly after independence. |

University of nigeria nsukka is the first federal and pioneer university in Nigeria. She was founded in 1960. So who calls it the first 'Federal University in Nigeria'? University of Ibadan is simply referred to as the first University in Nigeria. period. Federal is not usually added. But wait......

The origins of the university are in Yaba College, founded in 1932 in Yaba, Lagos as the first tertiary educational institute in Nigeria. Yaba College was transferred to Ibadan, becoming the University College of Ibadan, in 1948.[4] The university was founded on its own site on 17 November 1948. In late 1963, on the university playing-fields, with a celebration marked by talking drums, the Rt. Hon. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, first Prime Minister of independent Nigeria, became the first Chancellor of its independent university. |

Chest beating gone wrong like someone rightly said. The purpose of this thread is not to pass information or educate people, rather the sole purpose is for dick measuring. How many of these threads has been opened today on NL. And the only people opening this dick measuring threads are Igbo posters. If you guys are not tired of the silliness some of us are tired of it.

So many dumb people in this thread. Please read the OP's post carefully. gbanikiti: University college of ibadan was founded in 1947 and was made a federal university in 1963 then renamed University if ibadan. University of nigeria nsukka is the first federal and pioneer university in Nigeria. She was founded in 1960. He already implied that UI was the pioneer university of Nigeria by giving you a chronological account of the university operations (UNN and UI). His argument was about the first federal university. Oh my gosh!!!!! |

The University was formally opened on 7 October 1960, as the climax to the Nigerian independence celebrations in the Eastern Region. Her Royal Highness, Princess Alexandra of Kent, representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Nigerian independence celebrations, performed the opening ceremonies and laid the foundation stone of one of the University's early buildings. Classes began on 17 October 1960 with an enrollment of 220 students and 13 members of the academic staff. The opening convocation addresses were delivered by the Chairman of the Provisional Council, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first President of the Federation of Nigeria, and by Dr John A. Hannah, President of Michigan State University, USA. The university was fully autonomous, with the power to grant its own degrees. Technically speaking, therefore, it became the first fully-fledged university in Nigeria, since Ibadan was still at that time a university college granting London degrees. It also became the first university established by a Nigerian Regional Government. The University College Ibadan, the oldest university institution, cut its umbilical cord with London in October 1962, becoming the University of Ibadan. In July 1965, it turned out the first graduates holding Ibadan (rather than London) degrees, by which time Nsukka had produced two crops of graduates and taken all the publicity for turning out the first graduates of an autonomous Nigerian university. |

The OP is definitely out for mischief because from all indications after independence in 1960, the south west already has university college Ibadan and Yaba college of Technology. Azikwe being an Igbo man and being the person he is felt there is a need to have another university in the east since most people before then from the east that had education was educated in Ibadan. Nobody ever agrued which university was the first federal university. Just like we all know UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN IS THE FIRST UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA. Since we all know this fact, I beg to ask the question: WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS THREAD. 1 Like |
