The University: A Brief History

The Delta State University Law, 1992 established the University with its main campus at Abraka and a campus at Anwai, Asaba. With the 1995 Amended Edict, we now have a campus at Oleh. The University thus constituted, inherited the Abraka campus of the defunct Bendel State University, Ekpoma, the College of Agriculture, Anwai and the defunct St. Michael’s Teachers’ College, Oleh.

The main campus at Abraka is organized for academic and related activities on two nearby sites I and 2, less than one kilometer apart. There is now Site 3 on the Abraka – Agbor Road which was donated to the University by the people of Abraka. Site 3 which is undergoing rapid development is only physically separated from Site I by the Abraka-Agbor highway.
