About IMSU

A BRIEF HISTORY OF IMO STATE UNIVERSITY

The university was established in 1981 through Law No. 4 passed by the Imo State House of Assembly, Owerri.

This was amended by Edict 27 of 1985, another in 1986 and finally for the relocation by the Law No. 2 of 1992. Academic activities commenced at the temporary site located at the former Madonna High School, Ihitte, with Professor M. J. C. Echeruo as its First Vice-Chancellor.

The decision to establish a State University arose when the absence of a Federal University was greatly left by the people of Imo State whose major industry is education.

The State had so many qualified candidates who could not be admitted by the existing Universities.

The Government of Imo State under Chief Sam Mbakwe sought for and obtained the approval of the Federal Government for the establishment of Imo State University as a Liberal Studies tertiary institution in the State.
