History

[edit]

Veritas University Abuja (VUNA), also known as theCatholic University of Nigeria, was founded by theCatholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria through a resolution given at its March 2002 meeting in Abuja. The initiative was born by the collective desire of the attending Bishops for a University that would provide high-quality tertiary education according to the tradition of theCatholic Church.[2]

The Institution received its provisional operation licence in 2007 from theNational Universities Commission and commenced admission of students in October 2008 at its take-off campus in Obehie,Abia State,Nigeria. In 2014, it moved to its permanent site with its campus now located in theBwari Area Council of theFederal Capital Territory,Abuja, Nigeria.

The University emphasizes moral values, self-reliance and the development of the students’entrepreneurial capabilities for the social and economic benefit of the graduates and theNigerian society.[3]
