Key Information
Founded in 1997 as African College of Management, the following year gave rise to the University of Africa, as Obong University was formerly known. The university is in close fellowship with Obong Christian School (founded 1986), which is sponsored by the congregation of Christians at Mt. Morris, Michigan. The Christian school, also in Obong Ntak, has educated thousands of young people across Nigeria and surrounding countries.[2]
The schools are under the direction of Dr. Moses Akpanudo,[3] who, with the help of his Nigerian countrymen and American friends, worked to gain university status for Obong. This elevation was achieved on May 2, 2007.[4]
