The Federal Capital Territory University, Abaji (FCTU) was borne out of the need to ensure that graduates of FCT schools who desire to acquire university education get a fair chance of being admitted into universities. A Committee set up by the Honourable Minister for FCT had successfully produced the University Briefs, the Enabling law, and the Physical Master Plan. Reports of the committees were submitted to the Hon. Minister of FCT, in April 2011 and work has already commenced on the site of the university at Abaji to provide structures for take off. Currently a lot of physical infrastructure has been put up at the university’s site in Abaji. Plans are also concluded for the recruitment of key officers that will work at the university.
Philosophy:
The University shall provide an enabling environment for innovation and invention as well as be an intellectual and cultural hub for transformation of FCT, attracting the best local and international minds in Academics.
1. It shall incubate quality human capital in an atmosphere of excellence, discipline and freedom.
2. It shall respond sensitively to the needs of the immediate community and the nation by providing solutions that are relevant and enduring.
