University of Gezira
The University of Gezira, or U of G, is a public university located in Wad Madani, Sudan. It is a member of the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World.
The University Of Gezira (U. of G.) was founded in 1975 as a public university, and the first Sudanese university outside of Khartoum by Mohamed Obeid El-Mubarak, who went on to serve as its first President, as well as Abdelrahim Mahmoud, the former regional governor, along with the support of president Gaafar Nimeiry in the city of Wad Madani. The university is near one of the biggest agricultural projects in Africa – the Gezira Project, historically the backbone of the Sudanese economy.
Initially, there were only a handful of schools, but today the university has expanded to fourteen schools and four institutes.[citation needed] At its prime in the late 20th century, the university was seen as one of the top institutions in the country, at times even rivaling the University of Khartoum. One of its most famous members of faculty being Former Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Ibrahim El-Bedawi.
During the Sudanese civil war (2023–present) the Rapid Support Forces attacked the town of Bara, North Kordofan and plundered the University of Gezira in Wad Madani.
The first university guide quotes causes and justifications for establishing the University of Gezira as follows: "The mission of the universities is to seek science and knowledge, reveal the secrets of nature, build human civilization in all its dimensions, assess the balance of justice, support the inherent spiritual values, raise the word of truth and prosperity, eliminate the injustice and corruption, build the mind and conscience of mankind, develop expertise and skills, enrich and refine the talents, and achieve all that through constructive cooperation in an atmosphere of brotherhood, love and fidelity".
The University of Gezira was established to serve the community, and to link education with the requirements of development and make it more relevant to human and environmental needs. This is evident from the content of educational mission entrusted to it and identified in its function "to study the environment of Sudan and in particular the rural environment, to identify the issues and conduct research around it". With this concept, the University of Gezira began its path exploring problems of society, training professional cadre capable of utilizing the potential of the rural areas of Sudan and conduct basic and applied scientific research to serve the rural community.
