Founded in 1962, the University of Lagos has, for over 5 decades, provided
qualitative and research-oriented education to Nigerians and all those who have
entered its domain in search of knowledge. At its inception, the University of Lagos
was empowered to produce a professional workforce that would steer the political,
social and economic development of a newly independent country. Over the last
fifty years the University has pursued this mission with vigour, excellence and
panache. The University has built a legacy of academic excellence and is now
acclaimed publicly as “the University of First Choice and the Nation’s Pride
Origins
The establishment of the University of Lagos in 1962 was informed by the need to
intensify the training of a professional workforce for a newly independent Nigeria
in search of rapid industrialisation and economic development. It was however
quite evident that the country lacked the requisite workforce to actualise the
people’s dream. There was a big gulf to be filled, and that required establishing
many more universities.
Towards this end, the Federal Government established the Eric Ashby
Commission on Post School Certificate and Higher Education in Nigeria in
May 1959. The Ashby Commission’s report, titled Investment in Education,
recommended the establishment of a new university in Lagos, the then Federal
Capital, to offer day and evening courses in Commerce, Business Administration,
Economics and Higher Management Studies. In 1961, the Federal Government
assigned the detailed planning of the new university to a UNESCO Advisory
Commission. However, whereas the Ashby Commission had envisaged a non-
residential institution which would be cited in the business district of Central Lagos,
the UNESCO Commission opted for a traditional university, “a complete all
encompassing institution” with residential accommodation on a large campus.
Following the acceptance of the UNESCO Commission’s report, the University of
Lagos was established on 22nd October 1962 on the authority of the University of
Lagos Act of 1962.
The Act provided for an eleven-member Provisional Council for the University, a
Senate to preside over academic affairs, and a separate Council for the Medical
School located at the University Teaching Hospital at Idi-Araba, a few kilometres
away from the main (Akoka) campus. This was rather unique for, by authority of
the Act, the University consisted of two separate institutions—the main university
and an autonomous Medical School. The link between the two institutions was
tenuous at best, consisting of reciprocal representation on both Councils and
membership in the University Senate by professors in the Medical School.
Development of Faculties
The University began with three faculties: Commerce and Business Administration,
Law and Medicine. At its first meeting the Board of the Faculty of Commerce and
Business Administration changed the name to the Faculty of Business and Social
Studies. The faculties of Arts, Education, Engineering and Science were added in
1964.
For the first academic session, 1962/1963, the University admitted 46 students for
the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration and 26 for the Faculty of
Law. These students received their first lectures on 22 October 1962 at the
temporary site in a secondary school at Idi-Araba, adjacent to the Medical School
and the Teaching Hospital. 28 medical students had already commenced lectures
three weeks earlier on 3 October, 1962. The University moved from its temporary
location in Idi-Araba to the Akoka main campus in September 1965. The direction
of the University’s future development was consolidated with the promulgation of
the University of Lagos Decree in 1967 (Decree No. 3 of 1967). The new
constitution created an integrated and more structurally coherent institution by
establishing a single Council for the whole university. The previous arrangement
had two separate Councils, one for the University and the other for the Medical
School.
With the new Act the Medical School ceased to exist as a separate institution and
became an integral part of the University of Lagos subject to the full authority of
Senate. However, to ensure a measure of autonomy necessary for the smooth
discharge of the responsibilities of some specialised units the university adopted
the collegiate system under which the Medical School now became the College of
Medicine of the University of Lagos. The Faculty of Business and Social Studies
was divided into the School of Administration and the School of Social Studies. The
Federal Advanced Teachers’ College was integrated into the university as the
College of Education. The Institute of Computer Sciences and the Institute of Mass
Communication were founded in 1967 and became teaching units a year later. The
Institute of Child Health joined the University in 1969.
By the beginning of the 1970s, the University had developed an unwieldy and
confusing academic structure in which the faculty system operated alongside the
school and the collegiate systems. Law and Engineering were faculties; Education
and Medicine were colleges, while Biological Sciences, Mathematical and Physical
Sciences, Environmental Design, Social Studies, Administration, Humanities, and
African Studies were schools. On 28 June 1973, Senate finally adopted the faculty
system for the whole University, conceding the collegiate system only to the
College of Medicine. The re-designation of the College of Education required a
constitutional amendment and following the promulgation of the University of Lagos
(Amendment) Decree, 1975, it also became the Faculty of Education. The unwieldy
system was transformed into the following faculties: Arts, Business Administration,
Education, Environmental Design, Science and Social Sciences. The College of
Medicine retained both its name and its autonomy.
The School of Postgraduate Studies, whose dramatic growth has attracted the
sobriquet, “the Lagoon Lighthouse, was established on 22 July 1981. In 1984,
Federal University of Technology, Abeokuta (FUTAB) was merged with the
University of Lagos.
The University currently has a School of Postgraduate Studies, a Distance
Learning Institute (DLI) and twelve faculties, namely:
• Arts
• Basic Medical Sciences
• Business Administration
• Clinical Sciences
• Dental Sciences
• Education
• Engineering
• Environmental Sciences
• Law
• Pharmacy
• Science
• Social Sciences
