Our History

From a 40-Year Educational Legacy to a Modern University

The story of the University of Delta is rooted in a longstanding tradition of education in Agbor. UNIDEL was established by the Delta State Government on 25 February 2021, through enabling legislation, and formally gazetted in Delta State of Nigeria Gazette No. 9, Vol. 31 of 4 March 2021.

The University was established on the location, infrastructure and institutional systems of the former College of Education, Agbor, an institution with approximately four decades of educational experience at the time of the University’s establishment.

Before the transition to university status, the College of Education, Agbor had also operated affiliated Bachelor’s degree programmes in education for approximately 14 years.

This heritage provided UNIDEL with an established institutional foundation, experienced personnel, infrastructure and a community with a long history of advancing education.

Today, the University continues to build on that foundation while expanding its academic offerings, facilities, technology, research capacity and opportunities for students.
