“It first began as a dream in 1934 in the mind of a 30 year old Nnamdi Azikiwe. He saw a desperate need to nurture from our own land, home grown elites, who would not be dictated by the influence of colonialism.
Azikiwe’s educational philosophy lays bare to his idea of a rounded institution, with admirable utilitarian tendencies; this, constituted the core of his vision for the University of Nigeria.

Timeline in the Den: Here is a nothing to something story; a documentary film on the history of indigenous University education in Nigeria. The Nsukka experiment.
