Overview

Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola, located in Adamawa State, is a premier federal university in North-East Nigeria. Originally established in 1981 as a specialized university of technology (MAUTECH), it recently transitioned into a comprehensive conventional university.

The MAU campus in Girei offers a dynamic academic atmosphere tailored for both cutting-edge tech research and traditional scholarship. The university provides on-campus hostel accommodations and boasts a highly active Student Union. Academic discipline is tight, and students are expected to clear all registration fees quickly, which are cleanly processed online via the university's portal.
