Overview

Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) is a prestigious state-owned university in Ondo State, Nigeria.

Known as the 'University properly called', AAUA boasts highly rated academic divisions, including one of the best Law Faculties in Nigeria—featuring a fully functional Law Clinic and Moot Court—and a newly established Faculty of Allied Health Sciences (2024).

The university operates a vibrant and scenic campus located in Akungba-Akoko. It offers a conducive learning environment equipped with a world-class central library, multimedia studios, standard sports facilities, and several active student union initiatives. The Faculty of Agriculture operates on a vision of modernized, mechanized farming, moving away from orthodox practices to encourage entrepreneurial self-reliance among students.
