A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALABAR
The University of Calabar grew out of the Calabar campus of the
University of Nigeria, Nsukka, during the 1973/74 academic session with 154
students and small cadre of academic administrative and technical staff. The
decision to open a campus of the University of Nigeria in the then South Eastern
State, now Cross River State, was taken in 1970 at the end of the Nigeria Civil
War, following an agreement between the Government of the then East Central
and South Eastern States to jointly reactivate the University of Nigeria.
In 1972 the Government of the then South Eastern State offered land in
Calabar for the setting up of the University campus later in the same year and, in
order to ensure that classes were begun during the 1973/74 academic session, the
Government also made available to the University, the physical facilities of Duke
Town Secondary School in Calabar as a temporary site, pending the development
of permanent facilities.
In April, 1975, the then Federal Military Government of Nigeria
announced that as part of the Third National Development Plan, new universities
would be established at seven selected locations throughout the country. The
objectives of the programme of the new universities included the following:
The promotion of national unity; self-reliance and evolution of a just and
egalitarian society industrialization and improvement of the standard of living of
the people; correction of educational imbalance and the development of faculties
according to the economic pre-occupation of the area;
Production of requisite manpower endowed with appropriate knowledge,
skill and understanding to meet the present social, moral and economic needs of
the people;
Creation of a society which is free from corruption and exploitation by able
leaders imbued with a sense of justice to all. Creating a notion of educated men
and women who are oriented towards service to their localities, their country and
to the wider society.
Developing strong centers for the promotion of scholarship, research and
services; developing universities that involve themselves in community service
through active participation in local development activities as well as socio-
cultural activities.
The University of Calabar was one of the seven new universities set up
under this programme by the Federal Military Government. It is located in
Calabar; an ancient city with a long tradition of culture and contact with western
civilization. The already developed temporary site of the University (Duke Town
Secondary School Campus) occupies a seventeen hectare area on the eastern side
of the town, between the Great Kwa River and the Calabar River. Additional land
was acquired on both banks of Great Kwa River for the development of the
University.
As an independent institution, the University began academic work with
three Faculties, namely: Arts Science and Social Sciences, in October 1976, with
an initial enrollment of 977 undergraduate students, 406 of whom were carried
over from the University of Nigeria. The teaching, administrative and technical
staff; either transferred from the University of Nigeria or were recruited afresh,
numbered about 156. At the beginning of the 1977/78 academic year, The
Department of Education Formerly in the Faculty of Arts, was upgraded to the
Faculty of Education.
In the 1978/79, 1980/81 and 1981/1982 sessions, die medical school,
facilities of law and Agriculture, respectively were established, while the Institute
of Oceanography was established in the 1982/83 session. The University of
Calabar is the only University offering such a field of study at the moment in the
country. It offers teaching, research and training in aquatic sciences leading to
Diplomas and Certificates in different areas of Oceanography.
The institute of Public Policy and Administration (IPPA) was established
in the 1983/84 session. It offers training courses and research in public policy and
Administration, arid runs short term professional courses for practicing civil
servants of all grades. The Institute of Education was established in 1986 to run
Sandwich programmes (Long vocation courses) in non-degree, short term and in
