Welcome to Benue State University Website. The University has come a long way. From a student population of 306 and an academic staff strength of 149 at the inception of the University in 1992. Benue State University had a student enrolment of over nineteen thousand in 2006 and an academic staff strength of 429. The numbers have further grown since then.

This tremendous increase in staff strength and student enrolment can be attributed to handwork and determination of staff and students, and the continuous financial support of the Benue State Government. Concomitantly, our academic programmes have also expanded over the years. We now have seven faculties and a College of Health Sciences. Altogether we have 22 Departments.
Our graduate programmes have also come a long way. From an initial nineteen programmes, we now have fifty graduate academic programmes spread across all the faculties.

The University’s achievements have received ovations all over the country. In 2004, the Vice Chancellor of the University was voted best Vice Chancellor of the Universities and in 2005, the University received Award for best Governing Council of State Universities.

Our graduates have continued to perform credibly well in and outside the country. Many are pursuing or have successfully completed postgraduate programmes within and outside the country.

Out IT Services have continued to expand with the introduction of on-line registration, other services and programmes. The facilities available are currently being upgraded through the provision of bigger bandwidth and other accessories.

It is my pleasure to invite you to enjoy our website.
