Anambra State University

The university was established by law No. 13 of 2000 by the Anambra State Government and has a two-campus structure. The main campus of the university is located at Uli, in the former site of the Ekwenugo Okeke Polytechnic, formally called Anambra State Polytechnic. The second campus is located at Igbariam in the former site of the College of Agriculture. The law establishing the university phased out the State Polytechnic and the university inherited its assets and liabilities. On the other hand, the university law failed to repeal the Edict establishing the College of Agriculture, Igbariam, hence, legally, the university and the college existed side by side at the Igbariam Campus site, until 2006 when the government relocated the College of Agriculture to Mgbakwu, about fifteen kilometers away from Igbariam. By the Anambra State University Amendment Law No. ANHA/LAW/2006/01 of 26 January 2006, the name of the university was changed to Anambra State University in keeping with the Visitation Report of 2004 recommendation that the university should revert to a conventional University.
