Cook, Vice-Chancellor]] of the [[University of Exeter]], Dr [[John A. Hannah]], President of [[Michigan State University]] and [[Glen L. Taggart|Dr. Glen L. Taggart]], Dean of International Programs at the same university, came to Nigeria in 1958. The team surveyed the site at Nsukka and extensively investigated a great variety of factors pertinent to the establishment of a new university. The results of their efforts were contained in a [[white paper]] issued by the Eastern Nigeria Government on 30 [[November 1958]]. They had recommended, "that the development of the University of Nigeria based upon the concept of service to problems and needs of Nigeria, is a desirable project and one that should receive support from any source which could help to make it a sound endeavour". They further recommended that a provisional council be established to "draw upon the technical and consultative resources available throughout the world for help in planning the institution". The provisional council, authorized by the Eastern Nigeria Legislature, was appointed by the Governor in Council in April 1959, and given the necessary financial and administrative powers to build a sound university. It reflected the spirit of international co-operation which has given birth to the institution. It consisted of [[Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe]], chairman, Dr [[Taslim Olawale Elias|T. Olawale Elias]] and Dr [[Okechukwu Ikejiani]] from the Federation of Nigeria, [[J. S. Fulton]] from the United Kingdom, Dr. Marguerite Cartwright and Dr. Eldon Lee Johnson from the United States. The university was formally opened on 7 October 1960, as the climax to the Nigerian independence celebrations in the country's Eastern Region, by [[Princess Alexandra, The Honorable Lady Ogilvy|Princess Alexandra of Kent]]. Classes began on 17 October 1960 with an enrollment of 220 students and 13 members of the academic staff. The opening convocation addresses were delivered by the Chairman of the Provisional Council, [[Nnamdi Azikiwe]], the first President of the Federation of Nigeria, and by [[John A. Hannah]], president of [[Michigan State University]].{{cn|date=December 2023}} The university was fully [[autonomous]], with the power to grant its own degrees. Technically speaking, therefore, it became the first fully-fledged university in Nigeria, since [[Ibadan]] was still at that time a university college granting London degrees. It also became the first university established by a Nigerian Regional Government. [[University of Ibadan|The University College Ibadan]], the oldest degree-awarding institution, cut its umbilical cord with [[London|London in January 1963]], becoming the [[University of Ibadan]].

The main campus of the university is located on 871 hectares of hilly [[savanna]]h in the town of Nsukka, about eighty [[Kilometres per hour|kilometres]] north of Enugu, and enjoys a very pleasant and healthy climate. Additionally 209 [[hectare]]s of arable land are available for an [[Experiment|experimental agricultural farm]] and 207 [[hectare]]s for staff housing development. There is regular road transport between Nsukka and Enugu, and Nsukka is also quite easily accessible from all parts of Nigeria. There are modern shopping facilities and a large market in Nsukka town. The Nsukka campus houses the [[Agriculture|Faculties of Agriculture]], Arts, [[Biological Sciences]], [[Education]], [[Engineering education|Engineering]], [[Pharmaceutical Sciences]], [[Physical Sciences]], [[Social science|Social Sciences]], and [[Veterinary medicine|Veterinary Medicine]][[File:University-of-Nigeria.jpg|thumb]] The former Nigerian [[College of Arts and Sciences|College of Arts]], [[Science and Technology]], Enugu, was incorporated into the university in 1961, and its buildings now form the Enugu Campus [[Hectare|(200 hectares]]) of the university located in the heart of Enugu, the administrative capital of Enugu State of Nigeria.

A former campus was opened in October 1973 in [[Calabar]], [[Cross River State]]. The campus at Calabar became a full-fledged [[University of Calabar]] in October 1977. The official name of the university is University of Nigeria<ref>University of Nigeria Act</ref> and the official acronym of the name UNN. "[[United Nations|UN"]] stands for University of Nigeria while the last "N" stands for Nsukka. This acronym is also shared by the main campus of the university, Nsukka (University of Nigeria, Nsukka). Thus technically, the name University of Nigeria, Nsukka refers to the main campus at Nsukka only while the name University of Nigeria refers to all the campuses of the university. References may be made to the location of the other campuses by mentioning the names of the cities where they are situated rather than a blanket description with the name Nsukka. Students at the Enugu Campus prefer to write the name of their school as University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC)<ref>See UNEC POST- an annual magazine of the Students Union Government of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus</ref> if they must add the location of their school. Students from other campuses of the school also prefer same. Official documents of the school describes the school as simply University of Nigeria.
