Unilorin it is! But, I think ABU has more land mass the op reported. |

I've visited a number of universities and also I lived in Zaria and I can confidently argue that this list is inaccurate..
ABU is soo big that is that a large dam within its territory and also an indigenous community. There are areas within the campus that are still untouched. I've not visited minna, so I cannot argue about that.

The University of Illorin is the largest by land mass, and the Ahmadu Bello University, which is the largest in terms of land usage comes second after UNILORIN. It is also believed that the ABU will top UNILORIN soon in terms of land mass owing to the ever-burgeoning size of the Samaru Campus. Get your facts right bro! |
