Brief History Of American University Of Nigeria
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, GCON, created the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola, the city of Adamawa, Northeast Nigeria.
AUN is located in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State. The AUN campus is situated on a serene savannah flora, the most of which was previously utilized as farming. Adamawa, one of six states in northeast Nigeria, has the longest border with Cameroon. Yola is accessible by both road and air, with regular flights from Yola Airport connecting to regional, national, and worldwide destinations via Abuja.
After creating a private primary and secondary school, ABTI Academy (now AUN Academy), in 2002, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar sought advise and support from the American University (AU) in Washington, DC, to construct an American-style university. That university was licensed as ABTI University in 2003, and construction began in October 2004 on property granted by the 11th Lamido Adamawa, the late Alhaji (Dr.) Aliyu Musdafa, CFR. Today, it occupies more than 2,500 acres.
