Atiba University was established in December 2017 as both a repository creator and a disseminator of knowledge in a world where resources of knowledge will increasingly predominate our material resources as factors of economic growth and national development. The expected institutional values of Atiba University, and its multiplier economic, cultural and social effects in Nigeria and globally will not only grow but also glow in line with the vision of the Proprietor.

Atiba University was formally registered by the National Universities Commission (NUC) Abuja on December 6, 2017 and the provisional license to operate as a private university was issued and dated 19 December 2017

Our Philosophy

The academic programme and activities in Atiba University Oyo are rooted in and defined by a pragmatic egalitarian philosophy of education. This philosophy informs both our vision and mission statement from which the University also identifies its strategic operational objectives.

Vision

To build, sustain and propagate a progressive culture of excellence in teaching, learning research and innovation through a competitive interdisciplinary curriculum structure, programme and community participation.

Mission

To provide life-long transformative learning and to encourage the acquisition of functional transferable generic skills, knowledge and values required for self-reliance, good citizenship, creative thinking and community service.

OAU Mentorship

On March 8, 2018, the authorities of both Atiba University, Oyo led by Alhaji Abdulrahman Idris (BOT Chair) and Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife (OAU) led by Vice Chancellor and the Principal Officers met in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife to plan a practical road map for the development and growth of Atiba University. The university will be under the academic and administrative mentoring of OAU for a five-year probationary period. OAU will provide expert advice on some core academic and administrative issues. The choice of OAU is deliberate because OAU has established a long tradition of academic excellence and a high standard of behaviour which is expected to guide and nurture the new school into academic maturity.

World Class Facilities

In furtherance to the achievement of the values of the university, Atiba University boasts a wide array of world-class facilities to provide staffs and students a conducive learning environment. Some are highlighted below.
