Other interesting facts about the University of Ibadan (UI)

1. Initial Name: It may surprise you to learn that the University of Ibadan has not always gone by the name “University of Ibadan.” “University College Ibadan” was the initial name of the organization.

At the time of its founding, it was founded as a subsidiary college under another institution. The school split from its parent university when the nation’s circumstances changed and adopted the moniker “University of Ibadan.”

2. Date of Establishment: According to modern documents and historical evidence, Nigeria’s Premier University is the country’s first school to provide degrees. Being first and best is difficult, as I already stated. The University has 74 years of illustrious life after being founded in 1948. The University of London founded it as one of several colleges.

Establishing a college in Oyo state under British rule in 1948—during the colonial era—is a major historical event in the western portion of Nigeria. However, the institution split from the British after the country gained independence in 1962, and its name was changed to University of Ibadan.
