Unilag History and Evolution

Founded in 1962, the University of Lagos otherwise known as University of first choice
and nation's pride 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.

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.

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

The first phase of infrastructural development at the main (Akoka) campus was
completed in 1965. It consisted of two academic areas called Academic Group North
and Academic Group South, the Dining Hall, Library, Administrative Block, the Central
Concourse, staff quarters and students’ hostels. Subsequent developments have added
academic buildings including those of Arts, Advanced Legal Studies, Chemical
Engineering, Mass Communication, and Science; service facilities such as the
Auditorium, the Conference Centre and Guest Houses, the Health Centre, the Sports
Centre, the Unilag Consult Complex, a walkway linking the Faculty of Science with the
Faculty of Engineering, a massive water reservoir near the Department of Mass
Communication; boreholes in the service area of the main campus; Junior Staff quarters,
Phase I, along Lawani Road, off University Road, Abule-Oja; and additional hostels for
male and female students.

The Hydraulic Research Laboratory was also constructed with a grant from the
Government of the Netherlands and a donation of N30,000.00 from the Nigerian Ports
Authority. The University of Lagos International School was established in 1981. It
relocated to its permanent site in October 1985. The Senate House Complex was
completed in 1984. The University also established autonomous commercial outfits as a
means to generating additional revenue. Foremost among these are Unilag Consult and
Unilag Ventures.
