Established in 1981 along with the institution by the then civilian administration ofAlhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, the library did not inherit any material (books or journals) to start with. It began providing services to the university community from its temporary building in April 1983. When the university was merged with the University of Maiduguri in 1984, the library became a college Library under the authority, supervision, and control of Ramat Library, University of Maiduguri. When the University was granted autonomy in 1988, the library became a full-fledged university library.[7]
