Brief history of FULAFIA

The Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) is a relatively young institution in Nigeria, established by the Federal Government in 2010 as part of its efforts to expand access to higher education in the country.

Located in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State, the university began academic activities in 2011 with a modest number of students and a few faculties.

Over the years, FULafia has grown significantly, expanding its academic programmes and infrastructure, and it is now known for offering a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the arts, sciences, social sciences, and more.

In a recent development, Legit.ng reported that a man (@feranmiferary) shared the story of his mother, who has become an inspirational figure for her family and community after pursuing higher education well into her fifties.
